ANS: B
The word "ethnographic" means "portrait of a people."
Descriptive data collection methods would not tend to answer this research question. The word "ethnographic" means "portrait of a people."
Although discovering the "lived experience" of what it is like to be in a certain culture would be useful information, phenomenology does not create a portrait of the culture. The word "ethnographic" means "portrait of a people."
Structured interviews may provide some useful information, but would not necessarily result in a verbal "portrait" of the culture because the subjects would not have told their own story. The word "ethnographic" means "portrait of a people."
