Case studies typically "consist of in-depth and detailed examinations of specific 'units’." They focus on an individual, group, organization, or event to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject in question.
The other options provided refer to different research methods or approaches. For example:
- Collecting information on a large number of individuals is more aligned with surveys or quantitative research methods.
