C) instrumentation.
D) pretest sensitization.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counterbalancing involves using different sequences of treatments or conditions to mitigate the effects of order. Therefore, counterbalanced designs are particularly sensitive to the order effect, making option B the correct choice. The other options (regression, instrumentation, and pretest sensitization) may be concerns in other experimental designs, but they are not specifically related to counterbalancing.
