The following statement concerning the sample sizeof an experiment is not accurate:

C. A smaller sample size increases generalizability of a study.

A sample is a group of the population that is selected for an experiment. Therefore, choosing a correct sample is extremely important before performing an experiment. Nevertheless, the size of the sample affects the conclusions. The smaller the sample size the less diversity there is within the sample. Having a smaller sample size can easily lead to skewed results which end up not reflecting the behavior of the majority of the population. That is why having a smaller sample size decreases generalizability of a study.
