Answer: d. The effect size is bigger when the standard deviation of population gets smaller.Explaination: Formula for effect size is,Effect size   =            μ                                  1                    −      μ                                  2                      σ  That means, standard deviation of population(sigma) is inversally proportional to effect size.The effect size is bigger when the standard deviation of population gets smaller.
