The compensatory approach combines predictors by allowing a higher score on one predictor to offset a lower score on another predictor. This means that a strong performance on one predictor can compensate for a weaker performance on another predictor, leading to an overall higher score. The other options (A, C, and D) are incorrect because they do not adequately describe how the compensatory approach combines predictors.
