D) A core category
B
Feedback:
The outcome of the Strauss and Corbin approach is a full conceptual description. The original grounded theory method, by contrast, generates a theory that explains how a basic social problem that emerged from the data is processed in a social setting. Deciding on the central category (sometimes called the core category), which is the main category of the research, is the first step in integrating the findings in the Strauss and Corbin approach.
