c. The wide latitude of these nondirective interviews can result in low reliability and often poor validity.

Explanation:

Lexie likes to do interviews, to candidates who apply for a job at her company, with indirect questions. She starts the interview, asking the candidate to talk about himself.

This question can be a bit of a question to ask in a job interview. This is because there is a huge range of possible answers for this, and the result can be generic or fanciful responses that do not reveal real things about the candidate, in addition to not showing how efficient he would be for the company.
