Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I. Case Study (A) faces difficulties in generalizing to the population at large (II). Correlational Research (B) shows association without causation (IV). Observation (C) risks behavior change due to awareness of data collection (III). Survey Research (D) often suffers from response distortion for social acceptability (I).
