C
Measuring the same variables over a long period of time and requires greater resources than other types of research

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A longitudinal design is one that measures the characteristics of the same individuals on at least two, but ideally more, occasions over time. Its purpose is to address directly the study of individual change and variation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The repeated measures design (also known as a within-subjects design) uses the same subjects with every condition of the research, including the control. For instance, repeated measures are collected in a longitudinal study in which change over time is assessed.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dataset is longitudinal if it tracks the same type of information on the same subjects at multiple points in time. For example, part of a longitudinal dataset could contain specific students and their standardized test scores in six successive years.

Detailed explanation-4: -Longitudinal design is used to discover relationships between variables that are not related to various background variables. This observational research technique involves studying the same group of individuals over an extended period.
