James is a clinical researcher who is interested in methods for reducing the intrusiveness of auditory hallucinations in individuals with paranoid schizophrenia. He has three treatments: dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), medication, and deep brain stimulation (DBS). He also has three treatment settings: inpatient, day hospital, and outpatient. Although the participants in all three settings can receive DBT and medication, only those who are inpatient can receive DBS.

This design is best classified as a(n) ____ factorial.
a. imperfect
