The review of the literature section should conclude with a summary of the research findings and their implications for the study. This helps to establish the role of the present study in relation to the previous studies, and how it will contribute to the existing knowledge in the field. A bibliography should be included, but it is not the concluding section. A discussion of research results in the literature that are contrary to the hypotheses of the study can be included in the theoretical framework or introduction section. A recommendation for the next research can be included in the conclusion section or future research section. Therefore, the best choice is C.
