Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The disagreement among interviewers in their ratings indicates inconsistency in the measurement of candidates' abilities or performance, which is a matter of reliability, not validity. Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure, and in this case, the interview format is not producing consistent results across different raters.
