This omission is a flaw primarily in which of the following components of a research report.
A) Method
B) Results
C) Discussion
D) Introduction

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The introduction section of a research report is responsible for providing background information on the research question and explaining its significance to the literature. Milton's study might have been more informative had the introduction section included a clear explanation of why the number of high carbohydrate items student athletes consume is of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of sports nutrition.
