Final answer:

Interrupted time-series design is NOT a small-N design.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d. Interrupted time-series design. The other three designs mentioned - reversal design, stable-baseline design, and multiple-baseline design - are all examples of small-N designs used in research. However, interrupted time-series design involves the measurement of a dependent variable before and after an intervention or treatment, typically with a single group. This design is used to evaluate the immediate effects of the intervention or treatment.
