Which of the following represents the ontological orientation of qualitative research strategies?

The ontological orientation of qualitative research strategies is constructionism, treating reality as socially produced.

Deductive is an approach to theory, not an ontological position, so it does not fit.

Positivism is the epistemology aligned with quantitative research, not a qualitative ontology.

Objectivism is the ontological stance of quantitative work, the opposite of the qualitative view.

Constructionism holds that social phenomena are continually accomplished by social actors.

Its counterpart objectivism treats social entities as external facts beyond our influence.
