Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In observational research. the variables are actively manipulated and the environment is as controlled as possible.
Statement II: Observational research allows you to eliminate the influence of many extraneous factors.
In the light of the above statements. choose the correct answer from the options given below

Correct option is B

Observational research does not involve active manipulation of variables or control of the environment; rather, it involves observing subjects in their natural state without interference. Therefore, Statement I is false.
Statement II is also false because observational research does not typically allow the researcher to eliminate the influence of extraneous factors. Instead, it often results in a higher number of extraneous factors because there is no manipulation or control exerted over the variables or the environment.
