SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) has two distinguishing characteristics. One is the estimation of multiple and interrelated dependence relationships simultaneously in a single analysis. The other is the explanation of the covariance among the measured items or observed variables. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it includes both of these characteristics. The ability to discriminate multiple groups in a single analysis is not a distinguishing characteristic of SEM.
