The desired outcome of an ANOVA is to determine whether the group means are significantly different from each other. While equal variances can aid in the interpretation of the results, it is not the primary goal of an ANOVA. Therefore, choice A and B are incorrect. Similarly, whether the means are approximately equal or not is not the desired outcome of an ANOVA, but rather if they are significantly different. Therefore, choice D is also incorrect.
