research is most appropriate
1. for this research question?

A) Correlational research

B) Descriptive research

C) Quasi-experimental research

D) Experimental research

Ans: A


Feedback:

Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In this

of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The focus on the
relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events.
