Which of the following statements about the comparison between affect size and power is correct?

Which of the following statements about the comparison between affect size and power is correct?

Which of the following statements best represents the relationship between statistical power and effect size? A) Statistical power is a measure of the ability to correctly reject the null hypothesis which becomes harder to do when the effect size, or difference between groups, decreases. B) Statistical power is a measure of how different two groups are, and effect size measures the ability to reliably detect that difference. As power increases, effect size will also increase. C) Statistical power and effect size are independent and unrelated measures. D) Statistical power is a measure of the ability to correctly reject the null hypothesis which becomes harder to do when the effect size, or difference between groups, increases.
