A "between-subjects design" refers to a study where participants are randomly assigned to different independent groups or conditions. An "independent groups design" specifically refers to a between-subjects design where each participant is only in one group or condition. Therefore, A is the correctly matched pair of terms. B, on the other hand, is incorrect because a "repeated measures design" refers to a within-subjects design, rather than a between-subjects design.
