Which of the following is not an acceptable approach for addressing the problem of excessive baseline variability in single-case designs?
A) "waiting it out" - that is, continue taking baseline measures until behavior stabilizes
B) making sure there are no errors in measurement
C) dropping the results for those subjects whose baselines show excessive variability
D) removing factors in the situation that might be producing the variability

Dropping the results for those subjects whose baselines show excessive variability is not an acceptable approach as it can introduce bias and compromise the integrity of the study. It is important to find ways to address the excessive variability within the study design and measurement techniques. The other approaches listed (A, B, and D) are all acceptable methods for addressing excessive baseline variability.
