The correlation of .75 with the other measure of charisma suggests convergent validity, as the two measures are showing high agreement. The correlation of .45 with the measure of kindness suggests a lower level of agreement, indicating divergent validity. Content validity refers to how well a measure captures the construct it is intended to measure, which cannot be determined from the given information. Predictive validity refers to how well a measure predicts future outcomes, which is not relevant to the information provided. Therefore, the correct answer is B, indicating that Beula's measure of charisma has divergent validity of .45.
