Explanation
★A study over a long period of time is longitudinal research, so that is the answer.
★Longitudinal research follows the same subjects across a long stretch of time.
★So it can observe how they change and develop over that period.
★Cross-sectional research takes data at one single point in time, not over a long period.
★Research methodology is the study of methods, not a time-based type of research.
★Pure research is classified by purpose, so a study over a long time is longitudinal research.
