E)A,B and C are correct.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is similar to multiple regression in that it can involve exogenous constructs predicting endogenous constructs, akin to independent variables predicting dependent variables. However, SEM differs from multiple regression in that it allows for the dependent construct in one relationship to become the independent construct in another, reflecting more complex relationships between variables. Additionally, SEM estimates all equations in the model simultaneously, unlike multiple regression which typically handles equations one at a time. Therefore, all the statements A, B, and C are correct, making E the correct choice.
