Answer
A
Psychological constructs are easy to define and measure.
B
Psychological constructs represent concepts that cannot be observed or measured directly.
C
Psychological constructs cannot be researched in psychology because they are unobservable.
D
Psychological constructs represent measurable overt behavior.

Explanation

Psychological constructs, such as intelligence, motivation, or anxiety, are ideas that cannot be observed directly. Researchers study them indirectly using measures such as test scores, surveys, or observable behavior. Therefore, the true statement is that psychological constructs represent concepts that cannot be observed or measured directly; they can still be researched using indirect measures.
