B)nearly equal to; about 1.00
C)larger than; over 1.00
D)smaller than; over 1.00

If the independent variable has no effect, then the within-subjects variance (MSA) will be the same as the error variance (MSE), resulting in an F statistic of approximately 1.00. Therefore, the F statistic will be nearly equal to 1.00, as described in choice B.
