Eamon Farrell · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Field research involves direct interaction and observation of human subjects. This can make it more susceptible to ethical violations, such as invasion of privacy or coercion of participants. Surveys, secondary analysis, and content analysis can also potentially raise ethical concerns, but they generally involve less direct interaction with individuals and may have more established protocols for obtaining informed consent and protecting privacy.
