Multiple regression analysis is preferred over ANOVA when the independent variables are correlated with one another, which is represented by option C. Additionally, multiple regression analysis is more appropriate if the independent variable is continuous rather than categorical, which is represented by option B. Option A is not a factor that leads to the preference of multiple regression analysis over ANOVA. Therefore, the best choice is D because both options B and C are true factors for this preference.
