Whilst visually inspecting the data is important, Kaiser (1960) developed a criterion to strengthen the researcher's decision. Which of the following criteria is correct?
A) Eigenvalues greater than 0.7
B) Eigenvalues less than 1.5
C) Eigenvalues greater than 10
D) Eigenvalues between 10 and 20

Kaiser's criterion states that only factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 should be retained. However, many researchers have revised this criterion to set a higher minimum threshold of 0.7 or even 0.5. Therefore, eigenvalues greater than 0.7 or 0.5 can be a better choice. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they set the threshold too high and would result in retaining fewer factors than necessary.
