Which term refers to collecting information about a particular subject?

• A. Adaptive Equipment
• B. Emotional Disorders
• C. Research
• D. Cognitive Skills

Answer: (C)

Collecting information about a subject in a systematic way is what research is all about. Research involves asking questions, designing methods to gather data, actually collecting the data, and analyzing it to draw conclusions. This structured approach is what makes research the right term for gathering information about a topic, because it implies purpose, method, and interpretation rather than just random data gathering. The other options don’t fit this idea: adaptive equipment are tools to help perform tasks, emotional disorders are conditions themselves, and cognitive skills are mental abilities, not the act of collecting information.
