  • A.Qualitative
  • B.Quantitative
  • C.Quasi-experimental
  • D.Quasi-survey

Answer: A

Focus group discussion is generally used in qualitative research.

A focus group brings together six to twelve people with a shared experience and a facilitator who guides an open discussion on a topic. What it produces is talk: opinions, meanings, disagreements and the language people use, which the researcher analyses for themes rather than counts. That makes it a qualitative method.

Quantitative research relies on standardised measurement and statistical analysis, typically through structured questionnaires. Quasi-experimental designs compare groups without random assignment to test an intervention. 'Quasi-survey' is not a recognised research type.
