ATries to prove a particular point
BDoes not ensure the privacy and anonymity of the respondent ✓ Correct
CDoes not investigate the data scientifically
DIs not of a very high standard
Correct answer: (B) Does not ensure the privacy and anonymity of the respondent — Research is not ethical if it does not ensure the privacy and anonymity of the respondent, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Research is not ethical if it does not ensure the privacy and anonymity of the respondent, so that is the answer.
★Research ethics requires protecting the people who take part in the study.
★So failing to ensure their privacy and anonymity is an ethical wrong.
★Trying to prove a particular point is a matter of bias in method, not chiefly an ethical breach.
★Not investigating the data scientifically is a fault of quality, not primarily of ethics.
★Being of a lower standard is again a quality issue, so the ethical failing is not protecting privacy and anonymity.
