Final Answer : C, Explanation :  For performance appraisal methods to be reliable and valid, they should only measure factors that are directly relevant to job performance and not measure factors indirectly related to job performance. This avoids bias and ensures accuracy in performance evaluation. The other choices are incorrect as yielding different results over time or for different raters may indicate inconsistency or bias in the performance appraisal method, biased against poor performers is unethical and measuring all factors directly and indirectly related to job performance is not necessary for reliability and validity.
