BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect ✓ Correct
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Explanation
Exploratory case studies do identify questions and select measures before the main study, so Statement 1 is true, while making the unfamiliar familiar describes illustrative, not cumulative, case studies, so Statement 2 is false.
The exploratory type acts as a pilot that shapes the fuller investigation.
Cumulative case studies aggregate findings from several sites or times for generalisation.
Illustrative case studies give readers a common language about the topic.
Statement 2 attaches the illustrative function to the wrong category.
Case study types also include descriptive, critical-instance and metaevaluation forms.
