A	Concurrent
B	Predictive
C	Construct
D	Content

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three primary approaches to validity: face validity, criterion validity, and construct validity (Cronbach and Meehl, 1955; Wrench et al., 2013).

Detailed explanation-2: -Predictive validity refers to the ability of a test or other measurement to predict a future outcome. Here, an outcome can be a behavior, performance, or even disease that occurs at some point in the future.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Predictive Validity Studies One example of predictive validity would be in college admissions offices. The admissions officer would look at a student’s high school grades and grade point average in order to predict the student’s success in college.

Detailed explanation-4: -Assessment validity refers to the extent that a test measures what it is supposed to measure. The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (2014) defines validity as the “degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores for proposed uses of tests” (p. 11).
