Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The major advantage of between-subjects designs is that there is only one score for each participant so every score is independent of every other score. In other words, there are no order effects. The major disadvantage of between-subjects designs is that individual differences can be confounding variables (if the groups have different characteristics) and individual differences contribute to the variability of the scores which can obscure treatment effects. The major advantage of within-subject designs is that they eliminate or reduce all of the problems from individual differences. However, the major disadvantage of within-subjects designs is that they have the potential to be confounded by order effects.
