Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Descriptive research focuses on describing and quantifying certain phenomena or behaviors, including how much or how often they occur. Exploratory research is more focused on gaining a general understanding of a topic or issue, and explanatory research aims to identify the causes or reasons behind a phenomenon. None of these would also be incorrect because the question is asking for a specific type of research focus.
