Theory construction is

A) a gradual iterative process that is always subject to revision.
B) a standard step-like process that quickly moves toward the truth.
C) a circular process that typically leads nowhere.
D) a process that results in concrete findings that are accepted by other scientists.

Theory Construction

The process of developing a systematic framework to understand and explain phenomena, based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning.

Iterative Process

A method of solving a problem by repeatedly applying a sequence of operations until a desired outcome is reached.

Circular Process

A sequence of events or actions that loops back to the starting point, often leading to a repeating cycle.
