Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The most important planning question for primary research is what will be asked, because this determines the type, quality, and relevance of the data that will be collected. The research question or hypothesis should be specific, narrow, and discoverable through primary research methods, and it should align with the research purpose and objectives. The research question or hypothesis guides the choice of the research medium, the sample size and selection, and the data analysis and interpretation.

"How many people will be asked?" is just a number, not the main focus.

I remember practicing with a question about research mediums, but I feel like the sample size is also a big deal. Maybe "How many people will be asked?" is key?

I'm not so sure, but "What will be asked?" seems really important too. If the questions aren't clear, the data won't be useful.

I'm leaning towards "What will be asked?" as the most crucial planning question. That's going to drive the whole research process and determine the value of the data you collect. The other factors like sample size and medium are important, but secondary to the core research questions.

I'd say "Who will be asked?" is the most important. You need to make sure you're getting input from the right target audience for your research goals. The specific questions and format are important, but you have to start with the right participants.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I think the research medium could be really important too, since that affects how you design the questions and interact with participants. But I guess the actual content of the questions is probably the most critical piece.

Okay, I remember learning about MongoDB in class. It's a non-relational, document-oriented database, so I'm going to go with option D.
