Wechsler's approach involves using similar tasks at different age levels, but adapting the content of the items to be developmentally appropriate. Norms will differ depending on the age group of the test takers, but the tasks themselves can be similar. Option A is incorrect because different tests are used for different age ranges, and Option B is incorrect because norms will differ from test to test as well as from age group to age group. Option D is incorrect because multiple sets of norms are used for different age ranges.
