Researchers start in different places on the research cycle. point 1 indicates a/n approach to research; point 2 indicates a/n approach to research.

The researchers start in diverse places on the research cycle. The point 1 indicates a deductive approach to research while point 2 indicates an inductive approach. The main alteration among inductive and deductive approaches to research is that whilst a deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, an inductive approach is apprehensive with the generation of new theory developing from the data.

The correct answer would be b
