Because within-subject designs use the same participants in both experimental and control conditions, these two conditions can easily affect each other. The best way to control the effects of this interaction is to __________.
A) always run the two conditions in the same order
B) separate the two conditions widely in time
C) separate the two conditions widely in space
D) counterbalance the sequence of the two conditions
