Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stability refers to consistency or repeatability of test scores over time. If there are few differences in scores between the first and second administration of a test, it indicates that the test has high stability or test-retest reliability. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Validity refers to whether a test measures what it is supposed to measure, sensitivity refers to a test's ability to detect small differences or changes, and reliability refers to the consistency of test scores regardless of who administers the test or when it is taken. While these are all important aspects of a test, they are not specifically related to the scenario described in the question.
