D2, 4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 2, 3 and 4 only — The answer is 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★The answer is 2, 3 and 4.
★Both kinds of research aim at answering research questions, which is item 2.
★Both relate their data analysis to the existing literature, which is item 3.
★Both deal with variation in the data, which is item 4.
★Mere data increase and the use of null hypotheses are not shared similarities, so items 1 and 5 are excluded.
