The correct option is C. The conclusion, which is the end result of any research study is usually based on the level of understanding of the researcher and the interpretations they draw from the results that they obtained. Different researchers may give different interpretations to the results of a study. Thus, research conclusion is most often based on the interpretation that the researcher draw from the results of the study.
