I'm going with A) Qualitative. Quantitative data is like a blunt instrument - it tells you what's happening, but not why. Qualitative is the scalpel that can dissect the 'why' and 'how'.

I think quantitative data is still important to measure the impact of change interventions.

Aha, I was hoping for a trick question! But A) Qualitative is definitely the answer here. You need that juicy, behind-the-scenes intel to truly understand what's going on.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B) Quantitative, but now I'm not so sure. Qualitative data can really help paint a more complete picture. This is a tough one!

I agree, A) Qualitative is the way to go if you want to understand the underlying reasons for the behaviors. Quantitative data is great, but it doesn't always tell the whole story.
