Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies, and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and creative outcomes.

Key Points

Types of research Details
Ex post facto Research
  • Ex post facto research or after-the-fact research is a category of research design in which the investigation starts after the fact has occurred without interference from the researcher.
  • No control over variables, reports only what has happened or what is happening is applicable.
Applied Research
  • Applied research refers to scientific study and research that seeks to solve practical problems. The purpose of applied research is to increase what is known about a problem with the goal of creating a better solution
  • Finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a society or an industrial/business organization
Conceptual Research
  • Conceptual research is research that relates to abstract concepts and ideas. It doesn't involve practical experimentation but instead relies on the researcher analyzing available information on a given topic.
  • Related to some abstract idea(s) or theory
Exploratory Research
  • Exploratory research is a methodological approach that investigates research questions that have not previously been studied in depth.
  • Development of hypotheses rather than their testing

Therefore, the correct answer is A-IV, B ‐ I, C ‐ II, D ‐ III
