Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is option 3: C and D only.
ICT can be used at many stages of research, but its scope is relatively greater where large volumes of information must be handled efficiently. Data collection can be supported by online questionnaires, digital forms, databases and communication tools. Data analysis can be supported by spreadsheets, statistical packages and other computational tools.
Therefore, among the given stages, data collection (C) and data analysis (D) are the correct pair. Problem formulation, hypothesis making and data interpretation may use ICT support, but they are not the relatively greater-scope stages asked in the question.
