D1, 4 and 5 only
Correct answer: (A) 1, 2 and 3 only — The answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★The answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★Context sensitivity is a criterion for quality qualitative research, which is item 1.
★Rigour of analysis is another such criterion, which is item 2.
★A rich, detailed description of the setting is a further criterion, which is item 3.
★A merely repeated description and a liberal use of hypotheses are not quality criteria here, so items 4 and 5 are excluded.
★So the criteria are context sensitivity, rigour of analysis and detailed description.
★So the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
