Answer: Option(a) is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of qualitative research, data saturation is signified through enough quantity and quantity of data information for repetition. When no new information is seen in data then it is saturation point where repetition of data takes place.New data gathering stops in such case.

Other options are incorrect because data saturation is not seen when special data analysis method is used, for elimination of data that has been repeated more than three times and number of participants are more than required .Thus, the correct option is option(a).
