Triangulation is the process of using multiple methods or measures to gather data and then comparing or combining the results to increase the accuracy and reliability of the findings. Covariation refers to the relationship between two variables, validation refers to the process of checking the accuracy or validity of data, and imputation refers to the process of filling in missing data based on other available information. However, none of these options specifically address the use of multiple measures to improve accuracy, making A) triangulation the best choice.
