Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Since Dr. Moo is measuring anxiety scores before and after completion of the yoga program for the same group of patients, the appropriate test to run is a dependent-samples t test. This test will allow Dr. Moo to compare the mean anxiety scores before and after the program within the same group of patients and determine if the difference is statistically significant.
