C. Primary importance? I'm not sure what that even means in this context. B. Social validity is clearly the correct answer. Gotta love these tricky multiple-choice questions!

A. Parsimony? Really? That's more about the simplicity of the intervention, not its effectiveness in changing behavior. B. Social validity is the way to go here.

D. Interobserver reliability is important, but I don't think it's the most relevant answer for this question. Behavior analytic interventions need to have social validity to be truly effective.
