In a repeated-measures design
A
Different participants are used in both the control and experimental conditions
B
The same participants are used in both the control and experimental conditions
C
The same participants are used in one trial of both the control and experimental conditions, and different participants are used in subsequent trials
D
Participants are put into pairs and one member of each pair is placed in the control condition and the other member is placed in the experimental condition.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Repeated Measures design is an experimental design where the same participants take part in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes the same group of participants. Repeated Measures design is also known as within groups, or within-subjects design.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evaluate results over time: Repeated measures designs can follow results over time, for instance, learning or fatigue. With this circumstance, it’s generally recommended to test the same subject various times instead of testing different subjects at a certain time for each.

Detailed explanation-3: -These experiments have a control group and treatment groups that have clear divisions between them. Each subject is in only one of these groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Repeated measures design is a research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods. For instance, repeated measurements are collected in a longitudinal study in which change over time is assessed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Repeated-measure design is a research design in which subjects are measured two or more times on the dependent variable. Rather than using different participants for each level of treatment, the participants are given more than one treatment and are measured after each.
