Answer:
a. The researcher will not be interacting/intervening with subjects and the data has no identifiers.
Explanation:
The answer is
a. The researcher will not be interacting/intervening with subjects and the data has no identifiers.
IRB, popularly known as Institutional Review Board is the authority which protects the rights of the subjects of the research work.
According to the IRB guidelines, the researcher will not be allowed to interact or to intervene with the research subjects. And also the data which is available publicly does not identifies any subjects. Thus these data have no identifiers. And hence the researcher cannot intervene or interact with any of the subjects, since no identifications are provided.
Thus the answer is
a. The researcher will not be interacting/intervening with subjects and the data has no identifiers.
