Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Qualitative researchers prioritize understanding the depth of human experience through an emphasis on process, context, and description. They seek rich, detailed accounts rather than statistical generalization. Therefore, the main preoccupations are process (A), context (C), and description (D). Generalization (B) is a quantitative focus, not qualitative.
