BNatural environment ✓ Correct

CVirtual environment only

DArtificial environment

Correct answer: (B) Natural environment

Explanation

Ethnographic research is mostly conducted in a natural environment where people ordinarily live and act.

The researcher observes behaviour in its real everyday setting.

A simulated environment artificially recreates conditions, which ethnography avoids.

A virtual-only environment is not the general site of ethnography.

An artificial environment removes the natural context ethnography depends on.

Prolonged fieldwork and participant observation are its hallmarks.
