C) Research questions
D) Research problems
A
Feedback:
Theory and research have a reciprocal relationship. Theories are built inductively from observations, and research is an excellent source for those observations. The theory, in turn, must be tested by subjecting deductions from it (hypotheses) to systematic inquiry. Thus, research plays a dual and continuing role in theory building and testing. Correlations, research questions, and research problems are part of the research designs that validate or test the relationship between concepts.
