Correct answer: (B) Qualitative analysis

Explanation

Analytic induction is a method of qualitative analysis that seeks a universal explanation of a phenomenon.

It examines cases, forms a hypothesis, then revises it whenever a negative case appears.

Quantitative analysis relies on statistics, not this case by case logic.

Field observation is a data collection method, not an analytic strategy.

Participatory analysis involves respondents in interpretation, a different idea.

Znaniecki named analytic induction in 1934.
