Respondent’s name is changed but location is not changed. This suggests ................... .
Breach of anonymity
Anonymity means the identity of a respondent cannot be traced from the published data. Changing the name alone is not enough if other identifiers – such as a small village or specific location – remain, because readers can deduce who the person is (deductive disclosure).
So keeping the actual location while altering the name exposes the respondent and violates the ethical guarantee of anonymity. Breach of faith, morality or promise are general terms and do not describe this specific research-ethics violation.
Hence, the answer is Breach of anonymity.
