Exposing participants to only one of the treatments is not a potential solution to order effects because it would eliminate the possibility of testing for carryover or sequencing effects. The other options (A, C, and D) are all potential solutions that can reduce or eliminate order effects. Lengthening the time between treatments can give participants time to forget the first treatment, strategies that prevent participants from knowing the purpose of the study can help reduce demand characteristics, and keeping the tasks brief can help reduce fatigue and boredom.
