Dr. Iota's concern about his final exam accurately measuring a student's accumulated knowledge suggests that he is concerned with its validity, or whether it is measuring what it is intended to measure. The other options (reliability, standardization, and impact of confounding factors) may also be important considerations when developing and administering an exam, but they do not address the specific concern raised by Dr. Iota.
