Key Points

Research design by Kerlinger :

According to Kerlinger (1986) research design is a plan, structure, and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to research questions and to control variance.
Three main criteria have been stated by Kerlinger (1995) that determine a good statement of the problem:
1. It focuses on the relationship between two or more variables in the research
2. It needs to be stated clearly and should lack any ambiguity and should be preferable in the form of a Question.
3. It should be possible to subject it to scientific or empirical testing.

Therefore the correct answer is A, D, and E only.
