Wait, are we sure it’s not A? Seems like parsimony matters too.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know it has something to do with the real-world impact of the intervention, but I can't quite remember the specific term. I'll have to think it through carefully.

C. Primary importance? I'm not sure what that even means in this context. B. Social validity is clearly the correct answer. Gotta love these tricky multiple-choice questions!

A. Parsimony? Really? That's more about the simplicity of the intervention, not its effectiveness in changing behavior. B. Social validity is the way to go here.
