A) It will increase (move farther toward the tail of the distribution).
B) It will decrease (move toward 0 at the center of the distribution).
C) It will stay the same; the t statistic is not affected by the variance of the difference scores.
D) It may increase or may decrease. There is no consistent relationship between variance and the size of the t statistic.
