Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Validity refers to how well a test actually measures what it claims to measure. If a test is valid, it means that the scores on the test are a good predictor of the person's abilities or behaviors. Therefore, validity is the attribute of the test to be concerned with when trying to determine its usefulness in making accurate predictions.
