Examining group means (before and after covariate adjustment) for each DV in MANCOVA can assist in determining how groups differed for each DV because:
A) MANCOVA provides post hoc analyses.
B) MANCOVA does not provide post hoc analyses.
C) MANCOVA provides post hoc analyses when there is only one covariate.
D) MANCOVA provides post hoc analyses when there is only one factor.

MANCOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Covariance) does not inherently provide post hoc analyses. Post hoc analyses are additional tests conducted after an initial analysis to explore specific group differences further. MANCOVA is primarily used to control for the effects of covariates and to compare group means across multiple dependent variables simultaneously. Post hoc analyses are separate procedures that might be conducted after a MANCOVA to investigate specific pairwise group differences.
