Option 3 : Positivism

The correct answer is Positivism

A philosophical position consists of statements that are believed to be true by the thinkers who accept them, and which may or may not be empirical. that is the knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience

Positivism

It implies that there are objective, independent laws of nature to which human life is subjected.
It is the purpose of research to discover and describe these objective laws.
In philosophy, positivism adheres to the view that only “factual” knowledge gained through observation (the senses), including measurement, is trustworthy.
In positivism studies, the role of the researcher is limited to data collection and interpretation in an objective way.
The above statement scientists should put aside, their personal beliefs and biases and see the world as it "really" is. " is actually propounding to see things objectively hence it reflects Positivism

Postpositivists
- It argues that the ideas, and even the particular identity, of a researcher influence what they observe and therefore impact what they conclude.
- It pursues objective answers by attempting to recognize, and work with, such biases with the theories and knowledge that theorists develop
- For example, people seem to know what they ate for breakfast even though they have faulty memories
Inductivism
- It is an approach to logic whereby scientific laws are inferred from particular facts or observational evidence.
- for example, we observe many objects falling towards the ground when unsupported, and reason from this that other unsupported objects will also fall, then we are using induction
Constructivism:
- The aim of constructivist research is to understand particular situations or phenomena.
- Rich data is gathered from which ideas can be formed
- For example, our direct experience of gravity makes our knowledge of it more valid than our indirect experience of black holes
