D
All are correct.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Psychometric validity refers to as an assessment’s potential to evaluate what it claims to measure. This simply means that high validity of a test guarantees that the test items or questions are closely linked to the test’s intended core focus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Validity refers to how accurately a method measures what it is intended to measure. If research has high validity, that means it produces results that correspond to real properties, characteristics, and variations in the physical or social world.

Detailed explanation-3: -Validity refers to whether a test measures what it aims to measure. For example, a valid driving test should include a practical driving component and not just a theoretical test of the rules of driving.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four main types of validity: Construct validity: Does the test measure the concept that it’s intended to measure? Content validity: Is the test fully representative of what it aims to measure? Face validity: Does the content of the test appear to be suitable to its aims?

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, one would expect new measures of test anxiety or physical risk taking to be positively correlated with existing established measures of the same constructs. This is known as convergent validity.
