The F ratio is used in ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) for comparing the variance between groups to the variance within groups, typically in designs with more than two groups. The t-test, on the other hand, is used for comparing means between two groups. Therefore, the statement that t is only appropriate for a two-group design is correct, making the other options incorrect in this context.
