Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constructs are created based on observable phenomena and are therefore abstractions that cannot be directly observed. Option A is incorrect because observation terms are terms used to describe and label things that have been directly observed. Option B is incorrect because indirect observables are things that can be observed but not without the use of some kind of instrument or technology. Option D is incorrect because reification concepts involve treating an abstraction as if it were a concrete object or thing. Option E is incorrect because dimensions refer to measurable characteristics or variables that can be directly observed.
