Dr. Pagnac's aptitude test is high in reliability. This is because the scores of each student consistently vary very little from one test administration to the next, indicating that the test is producing consistent and dependable results. However, there is no information given about the test's validity, which refers to whether or not the test measures what it intends to measure. Therefore, choice D cannot be fully supported.
