In structural equation modeling, recursive models refer to _____(a)_____, and nonrecursive models refer to _____(b)_____.
A) models that allow causal paths to "back track" (i.e., bidirectional causation); models that do not allow for bidirectional causation
B) models where the specified paths "fit" the data well; models where the specified paths do not fit the data well
C) models that do not all causal paths to back track; models that allow causal paths to back track
D) models where the specified paths do not fit the data well; models where the specified paths fit the data well

Recursive models are those where causation flows in one direction without feedback loops, meaning they do not allow for bidirectional causation. Nonrecursive models, on the other hand, can include bidirectional causation or feedback loops, allowing for more complex causal relationships.
