Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research problems are specific questions that are currently unanswered in a field of inquiry, and they should be clearly and completely specified. A is not always true because novices may also identify research problems. C is incorrect because research problems should not be broad and general but rather specific and focused. D is also incorrect because research problems require new information and knowledge, not just synthesis of existing information.
