  • C.Experimental design
  • D.Longitudinal design

Answer: B

Cross cultural studies are an example of comparative design.

A cross cultural study examines the same phenomenon, such as family structure, bureaucratic behaviour or political attitudes, in two or more societies in order to find what is common and what differs. Systematic comparison of cases across cultures is the defining feature of comparative design.

A case study design examines one case in depth. An experimental design manipulates a variable under controlled conditions and compares the results with a control group, which is rarely possible across whole cultures. A longitudinal design follows the same units over time. A cross cultural study compares across societies rather than over time or under controlled conditions.
