Validity sees whether a test measures what it aims to measure.
The answer to the above-mentioned question is Criterion Validity.
Criterion validity sees the co-relation and generally measures how one measure predicts another measure’s outcome. This method is a valid measurement and is used for predicting performance and behavior.
E.g., here the ability test is assessing how well the test really measures the high school student’s writing skills.
The other options are not appropriate because-
A evaluates the interpretation of a measurement tool.
C assess the validity of tests regarding content.
D sees how accurately an assessment measures just by having a look at it.
Hence, the answer is B.
