In research these are the sources of knowledge :
(a) Superstition
(b) Intuition
(c) Authority
(d) History
Answer: C
The sources of knowledge are (b), (c), (d): intuition, authority and history.
Research methods texts describe several ways people acquire knowledge before and alongside the scientific method: authority (accepting what experts, texts or tradition say), intuition (self-evident insight or reasoning), and history, the accumulated record of past experience. Research also uses these as starting points that it then tests.
Superstition (a) is belief without rational or empirical basis and is not accepted as a source of knowledge in research. Every option except (b), (c), (d) includes superstition, so they are all wrong.
