AQuantitative ✓ Correct
BQualitative
CInductive
DConstructive
Correct answer: (A) Quantitative — The quantitative strategy has a deductive orientation of theory, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The quantitative strategy has a deductive orientation of theory, so that is the answer.
★In quantitative research the role of theory is dominantly deductive.
★The researcher starts from theory and derives hypotheses.
★These hypotheses are then tested against collected data.
★So theory guides the research from the top down.
★Qualitative research is more inductive, so the answer is quantitative.
