CConcerned with the collection and analysis of numerical data

DDependent upon spiritual aspects only

Correct answer: (B) Primarily concerned with the in-depth exploration of phenomena

Explanation

Qualitative research is primarily concerned with the in-depth exploration of phenomena and their meanings.

Research without any specific purpose describes no genuine paradigm and is simply aimless enquiry.

Collecting and analysing numerical data defines quantitative, not qualitative, research.

Dependence on spiritual aspects only misrepresents qualitative work, which studies lived social experience.

Qualitative data are usually words, images, and observations rather than numbers.

Its typical methods include interviews, focus groups, and participant observation.
