What is the best definition for the term "research"?

Question 12 options:

a)

knowing that you already have the answer and refusing to seek out information

b)

none of these are the definition

c)

finding out or verifying something that you do not know for sure

d)

taking a rest from your work

I believe the right answer to be C.

Explanation:

First of all, the word 'search' is literally in the word research. 'Re' means to check again or redo. So, 'research' means to search again.

For more evidence:

It isn't A because ... well, I hope you know it's not A.

It isn't D because researching something is NOT taking a break from your work. It's the opposite, really.

So, between B and C, I believe C to be the better answer.
