Braun and Clarke's objections are two-fold: first, they argue that many researchers are doing a "grounded theory lite" form of research that is primarily thematic analysis with little true grounding in the data. Secondly, they argue that some researchers are overly rigid in following Pigeon and Henwood's (1997) step-by-step approach, which can result in spending too much time on certain stages that may not be relevant to the research question or data at hand. Therefore, the best choice is E, indicating that both objections (a) and (c) are valid.
