‘I believe nothing until I see it with my own eyes’ - In research it is a/an .............. statement.
Answer: C
It is an empiricist statement.
Empiricism holds that knowledge comes from sensory experience and observation. 'I believe nothing until I see it with my own eyes' accepts only what is observed, which is the empiricist position and the foundation of the empirical, evidence-based approach in research.
An assumption is something taken for granted without proof, the opposite of insisting on seeing. A hypothesis is a tentative, testable statement about the relationship between variables. Rationalism treats reason, not the senses, as the main source of knowledge, so a 'rational' statement in that sense would contradict this one.
