A research paper is based on...... .................. .
(i) Primary data
(ii) Secondary data
(iii) Descriptive data
Answer: C
A research paper is based on (i) and (ii), primary and secondary data.
Primary data are collected first-hand by the researcher through surveys, experiments or interviews, and secondary data come from existing sources such as published reports, records and earlier studies. A research paper may rest on either kind, and often on both.
'Descriptive data' is not a third source of data; description is a type of research or analysis, which can use primary or secondary data. So the options with (iii), or with only one source, are incomplete or wrong.
