D is correct: Combining technological monitoring with self-assessment creates comprehensive tracking systems addressing both measurable data and personal responses.

Other options:

A is incorrect: While both provide different data types, the key advantage is comprehensive coverage rather than data type distinction.

C is incorrect: Neither method alone is superior; combining approaches provides the most complete monitoring system.
