Option C is not part of the classical critique of quantitative approaches. The other options (A, B, and D) are all part of the classical critique, which asserts that quantitative approaches are inadequate to capture the complexity and richness of human experience, behavior, and interaction, and that they often oversimplify, reduce, and distort the phenomena they aim to measure and explain. Option C, on the other hand, is a technical critique of statistical analysis that focuses on the violation of assumptions that underlie certain statistical tests and models. While this critique is relevant to quantitative research, it is not unique to it, and it does not challenge the presuppositions, goals, and methods of quantitative inquiry as such.
