- have an existing body of evidence

- can be measured and thus are quantifiable .

3. The correct answer is option 1. The characteristic of qualitative research are :-

Conducting open ended inquiry

Obtaining holistic understanding of human phenomenon

Generating generalisible findings

Conducting interpretative data analysis
