D. A factor loading
5: In hierarchical regression analysis, ______.
A. The researcher chooses the ordering of predictor variables to be entered based on theory
B. The order of entering predictor variables depends on the size of their correlations with the dependent variable
C. The order of entering variables is determined by how well each one adds to predicting the dependent variable
