In multiple regression analysis, the general linear model
a. cannot be used to accommodate curvilinear relationships between dependent variables and independent variables
b. can be used to accommodate curvilinear relationships between the independent vari

None of these alternatives is correct. Multiple regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between multiple independent variables and a single dependent variable. It can be used to accommodate curvilinear relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable. It doesn't necessarily have to contain more than 2 independent variables.
