Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hypotheses formulation is a stage in all the following studies except:
A
Basic research
B
Applied research
C
Exploratory research
D
Descriptive research
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A case analysis is not a form of exploratory research, because a case analysis is carried out to investigate a business problem, obtain alternative solutions and suggest the best and most effective solution using supportive evidence("Writing a Case Study Analysis | UAGC Writing Center", 2021).

Detailed explanation-2: -Exploratory research investigates research questions that have not been studied in depth. The preliminary results often lay the groundwork for future analysis. Explanatory research questions tend to start with “why” or “how”, and the goal is to explain why or how a previously studied phenomenon takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypothesis is used more often for the quantitative research method approach, whereas a research question can be answered by both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Not all studies have hypotheses. Sometimes a study is designed to be exploratory (see inductive research). There is no formal hypothesis, and perhaps the purpose of the study is to explore some area more thoroughly in order to develop some specific hypothesis or prediction that can be tested in future research.
