Correct answer: (B) While planning your research study — It is best to use multiple working hypotheses while planning the research study, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★It is best to use multiple working hypotheses while planning the research study, so that is the answer.
★The method of multiple working hypotheses keeps the researcher open to several explanations.
★This openness is most valuable at the planning stage, before the design is fixed.
★So considering many hypotheses while planning guards against a one-sided approach.
★During the final stages or after results are established, the design is already set.
★It is not confined to the report, so multiple working hypotheses are best used while planning.
