D)short time interval between conditions.

Counterbalancing techniques involve systematically changing the order of presentation of conditions across participants to control for potential order effects. This is the most effective method for controlling order effects in a repeated measures design. Independent groups design involves using different groups of participants for each condition, which is not relevant in a repeated measures design. Reversal design involves reversing the order of presentation of conditions within the same participant, which is not always feasible or practical. Short time interval between conditions may help to reduce order effects, but it is not as effective as counterbalancing.
