Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation: Objective-type questions are good for testing recall, recognition, and accuracy, but cannot effectively measure creativity. Creative ability requires open-ended, expressive answers; therefore, essay-type or extended-response items are more suitable. Hence, the statement that objective-type items are more preferable for measuring the creative ability of students is incorrect.
