C is correct: Tailoring assessments to individual characteristics and objectives ensures relevance and appropriate program development for each client.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: While consistency is valuable, assessment timing flexibility often produces better results than rigid single-session protocols.
B is incorrect: Testing more components does not improve program design unless the tests are relevant to the client’s characteristics and goals.
D is incorrect: Advanced equipment doesn’t guarantee success if assessments aren’t matched to individual client needs and capabilities.
