Covert participation refers to the act of a researcher secretly and intentionally joining a group or community to gather information about it without disclosing their true identity. One of the limitations associated with covert participation is that the researcher cannot reveal their true identity at the end of the research period, which is option D. This is because doing so could compromise the integrity of the research and potentially harm the group or community being studied.
