Controlled effects refer to the effects of variables that have been kept constant or controlled for in a statistical analysis. The summary of these effects is known as partial relationship, which refers to the relationship between two variables after the effect of one or more other variables has been accounted for. Zero-order relationships refer to the direct relationship between two variables without controlling for any other variables, additive relationships refer to the combined effect of two or more variables on an outcome, and interactive relationships refer to situations where the effect of one variable depends on the level of another variable. However, none of these terms specifically relate to controlled effects. Therefore, the correct answer is partial (D).
