c. replication
d. operational definitions

Answer 1

The correct option is: e. random assignment

Step-by-step explanation:

Random assignment, also known as the random placement, is a technique which is used to allocate the research participants of an experiment or research into two groups: the treatment group or the experimental group and the control group, by the method of randomization.

This process of randomization makes sure that the every research participant has an equal possibility of getting placed in any of the groups.
