Which one of the following is true about sample size determination in cluster analysis?
A) Appropriate sample size is reached when the observed probability is greater than alpha
B) Cluster analysis can be reliably applied to sample sizes as small as 10
C) Power analysis can be used to determine sample size
D) Sufficiency in generating representation of the smallest group is the most important indicator for sample size

Cluster analysis is not an inferential technique. Thus, similar to exploratory factor analysis, there is not a power calculation to suggest appropriate sample size for cluster analysis. The most important sample size consideration in cluster analysis is sufficiency in generating representation of the smallest group.
