A) If all relevant variables are not included in the model, then the results of the analysis might be misleading, this is true because if important variables are left out, the relationships between variables in the model could be misinterpreted.
B) In general, path models and structural equation models do not take interactions between variables into account, this is true because these models typically assume linear relationships between variables and do not explicitly model interactions.
C) There can be more than one model that will fit a given data set equally well, this is true because different models can have different combinations of variables and paths that explain the same data equally well, and researchers must choose the most appropriate model for their research question.
