A)The measurement model in SEM is similar to factor analysis in that both techniques have variables with loadings on factors.
B)Concepts such as correlations and covariances are common to both the techniques.
C)SEM,we have to specify which variables are associated with each construct based on theory.

A is correct because SEM and factor analysis both involve variables that load on factors or latent variables.
B is correct because both SEM and factor analysis involve concepts such as correlations and covariances.
C is correct because in SEM, we need to specify which variables are associated with each construct based on theory. Therefore, options A, B and C are all correct.
