ANS: A
The ethnographic researcher uses the literature review to gain an understanding of the variables in the study and provide a background to the study.
Only a minimal review of literature is conducted before the start of a study in grounded theory research. The bulk of the review is completed during the analysis of data phase so as to compare and contrast the current research findings with previous findings.
In historical research, the literature review is used to select a research topic and develop research questions.
Phenomenologists do not review the literature before data collection and analysis so as not to bias their findings.
