Match List I with List II

List I (Explanation)	List II (Concept)
A. Variations in conditions in a given situation	I. Hypothesis
B. A prediction about how the variables in a question are related to one another	II. Experimental study
C. An intensive study of persons or situation single or in small numbers	III. Case study
D. Research in which the independent variable is changed so that its effects on the dependent variable can be seen.	IV. Variables

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

The correct match is A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II ( Variations in conditions in a given situation matches with Variables, A prediction about how the variables in a question are related to one another matches with Hypothesis, An intensive study of persons or situation single or in small numbers matches with Case study, and Research in which the independent variable is changed so that its effects on the dependent variable can be seen matches with Experimental study).
Basic information about the topic: Educational research relies on precise methodologies, foundational concepts, and structural designs to systematically investigate, predict, and analyze human behavior and educational phenomena.

Explanation of the correct answer in pointers in detail
· Variations in conditions in a given situation matches with Variables:
· A variable is any characteristic, condition, quantity, or attribute that can change, vary, or take on different values across different situations, individuals, or time periods (e.g., intelligence, age, motivation levels, or teaching methods).
· A prediction about how the variables in a question are related to one another matches with Hypothesis:
· A hypothesis is a tentative, testable, and educated proposition or prediction regarding the expected relationship between two or more operational variables in a research inquiry, serving as a guiding framework for empirical testing.
· An intensive study of persons or situation single or in small numbers matches with Case study:
· A case study is a deep, qualitative, and in-depth longitudinal investigation of a single unit or a small bounded system (such as an individual student, a specific classroom, or a single educational institution) in its real-life context.
· Research in which the independent variable is changed so that its effects on the dependent variable can be seen matches with Experimental study:
· An experimental study is a controlled research design where the researcher deliberately manipulates or alters an independent variable (the cause) under strict controls to directly observe and measure its causal effect on a dependent variable (the outcome).
