Having at least three observed variables for each latent construct helps to ensure the model is identified, meaning that there is a unique solution to the model and it can be estimated accurately. This is because having fewer than three observed variables per latent construct can lead to under-identification and over-identification problems. The other options (having all formative indicators, a GFI of .95 or higher, and a large sample size) may be important for other aspects of model fit and estimation, but do not directly address the issue of model identification.
