Once a factor analysis is done,which of the following are used to determine how many underlying factors should be retained for further analysis in the AR perceptual gap mapping model?
A)The factor test and scree rule
B)The scree test and eigenvalue rule
C)The cluster test and factor rule
D)The level test and eigenvalue rule

The scree test and eigenvalue rule are commonly used to determine the number of factors to retain in a factor analysis. The scree test involves plotting the eigenvalues of the factors against the number of factors and identifying the point where the slope of the curve changes most dramatically, which indicates the number of factors to retain. The eigenvalue rule involves retaining factors with eigenvalues greater than one, as these explain more variance than a single variable. The other options mentioned (factor test, cluster test, level test) are not commonly used in determining the number of factors to retain in a factor analysis.
