B) a travel diary.
C) a policy.
D) a scientific report.
Ans. (A) an ethnography.
Ethnography refers to the study of people in natural settings or ‘fields’ by methods of data collection which capture their social meanings and ordinary activities. It is a method dedicated entirely to fieldwork. It is conducted in the settings in which real people actually live, rather than in laboratories where the researcher controls the elements of the behaviors to be observed or measured. It is aimed at gaining a deeper insight of a certain people's knowledge and social culture. It involves the researcher to participate directly in the setting, if not also the activities, in order to collect data in a systematic manner but without meaning being imposed on them externally.
