Sunny Sidhu · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Introspection was a research method used in early psychology where participants would provide detailed accounts of their own subjective experiences. However, because different people have different levels of introspective ability and may describe their experiences differently, the results often varied when the technique was used by different people. As a result, introspection fell out of favor as a research method.
