Which of the following is an example of an interrupted time-series design?
A) A school wants to try a new teaching program and test its effectiveness. Mrs. Jones' first grade class is given the new program. Mrs. Jones' class and Mrs. Brown's first grade class (who received the traditional teaching method) both take an exam at the end of the year designed to determine the amount that each class learned.

D) Victims of a hurricane are interviewed and asked their opinions about the needs that were not met following the disaster. This information is then turned into a social program to aid disaster victims.
