re forms that will be easy to organize and analyze.b.Organize the data in a preliminary, superficial way that will enable you to locate them easily as you proceed.c.Identify preliminary categories that are likely to be helpful in coding the data.d.Avoid organizing the data so that valuable information isn't lost in sorting.
The correct answer is: "d. Avoid organizing the data so that valuable information isn't lost in sorting".
Explanation:
When you have qualitative data you should organize all informations in order to analyze them in an easier manner. You may categorize all informations, or change all data into charts and/or illustrations, or even label the data into numbers and/or points for a better and faster explanation, description, and assessment. Therefore, letter d is the only option which represents the contrary of these ideas because it tells you to avoid organization, although it is actually a major part of the process for analyzing any data. All the other options agree with these ideas and highlight the importance of organization in research and analysis.
