The significant difference between an integrated mixed-methods design and an embedded mixed-methods design is that in an integrated design, both methods are given equal importance and are used concurrently, while in an embedded design, one method is given priority and is used to support and expand on the other method. Therefore, the correct choice is C, where in an embedded design, one methodology is given priority.
