What type of research takes place within the context of natural settings?

Qualitative Research
Experimentation
Quantitative Research
Observational Research

The correct answer is: Observational Research

Observational research takes place within the context of natural settings. This research method involves observing and recording behavior and situations as they occur naturally, without manipulating or controlling any variable. The other options, including qualitative research, experimentation, and quantitative research, involve manipulating variables and collecting data in controlled environments or lab settings. Therefore, they do not take place within the context of natural settings, making them incorrect answers.
