Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Experimental designs can be depicted graphically using symbols to represent features of the design. In these diagrams, the convention is that R stands for randomization to treatment groups, X represents receipt of the intervention, and O is the measurement of outcomes. So, for example, a pretest-posttest design would be depicted as follows: R O X O. The other answers do not illustrate the correct order of elements.
