A 1-between, 1-within factorial design involves observing the same participants across the levels of one factor (within) and different participants across the levels of another factor (between). Therefore, this design is the most appropriate for the described study. Options B and C involve different participants across all levels of the factors, which is not the case for this study. Option D is incorrect as the study involves the manipulation of two independent variables, making it a factorial design.
