A) It maintained some level of precision while greatly increasing both forms of generalizability.
B) The use of tipping as a dependent variable increased levels of internal validity.
C) It allowed researchers to control the independent variable in ways that were impossible in the lab.
D) It disproved previous findings on the topic that were conducted in the laboratory.
