Detailed explanation-1: -Presumptive consent-rather than getting consent from the participants themselves a similar group of people are asked if the study is acceptable. If this group agree then consent of the original group is presumed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Where it is impossible for the researcher to ask the actual participants, a similar group of people can be asked how they would feel about taking part. If they think it would be OK then it can be assumed that the real participants will also find it acceptable. This is known as presumptive consent.
Detailed explanation-3: -Informed consent is the process of telling potential research participants about the key elements of a research study and what their participation will involve. The informed consent process is one of the central components of the ethical conduct of research with human subjects.
