Explanation: A)\ Phenomenology\ is\ research\ that\ investigates\ people's\ life\ experiences\ and\ how\
they\ interpret\ those\ experiences.\ Using\ prior\ coping\ skills\ (life\ experiences)\ and\
applying\them\to\current\situations\in\order\to\interpret\the\process\of\Alzheimer's\
disease\ is\ an\ example\ of\ phenomenology.\ Grounded\ theory\ is\ research\ to\
understand\ social\ structures\ and\ social\ processes.\ Ethnography\ is\ research\ that\
provides\ a\ framework\ to\ focus\ on\ the\ culture\ of\ a\ group\ of\ people.\ Substantive\
dimension\ is\ not\ a\ research\ tradition,\ rather\ a\ way\ to\ critique\ research\ reports.
