Correct answer: (A) Segregation — Qualitative research must guard against the error of segregation, so option A is correct.
Explanation
★Qualitative research must guard against the error of segregation, so option A is correct.
★Qualitative data are rich, contextual, and interconnected in meaning.
★Segregation wrongly breaks this data into isolated fragments and loses the whole context.
★The strength of qualitative work lies in preserving the connected, holistic meaning.
★Interviews, focus groups, and observation yield thick, situated descriptions.
★Over-fragmenting such data strips away the very context that makes it meaningful.
★So arranging qualitative data must keep relationships intact rather than segregate them.
