A) experimental and then quasi-experimental methods.
B) quantitative and then qualitative methods.
C) fragmented and then scientific methods.
D) traditional and then modern methods.

Quantitative

Concerned with, evaluating, or determined by the amount of something rather than its quality.

Qualitative

Quasi-experimental

A type of experimental design where participants are not randomly assigned, making it difficult to control for all confounding variables.
