D3, 4 and 5 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 3, 4 and 5 only — The answer is 3, 4 and 5.
Explanation
★The answer is 3, 4 and 5.
★A deductive approach can begin from theoretical postulations, which is item 3.
★It can start from exploratory data, which is item 4.
★It can start by deriving a hypothesis, which is item 5.
★Policy statements and the researcher's social identity are not the starting points here, so items 1 and 2 are excluded.
★So the deductive method can begin with the last three items.
★So the answer is 3, 4 and 5.
