BAbstraction

CPredictability

DQualitative assertions

Correct answer: (A) Objectivity

Explanation

Post-positivists hold that complete objectivity is impossible to achieve in enquiry.

They accept that observation is theory-laden and shaped by the researcher.

They do not deny abstraction, which they still use in theorising.

They do not reject predictability, which remains a scientific goal.

They allow qualitative assertions rather than ruling them out.

They therefore aim at approximate rather than absolute truth.
