Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

An A-B-A-B design offers a replication of the original intervention effect found in a simpler A-B design. That is, the researcher is able to demonstrate the functional relationship between the independent and dependent variable twice (A1-B1-A2-B2) versus only the once in the A-B design.
