The correct answer is

ATLAS. ti

Qualitative data consists of non-numerical material such as interview transcripts, field notes, open-ended responses, documents, images and audio or video recordings. Analysing it involves coding text, grouping codes into categories and themes, writing memos and building links between ideas. Software designed for this work is called CAQDAS, that is computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software.

ATLAS.ti is one of the best-known CAQDAS packages. It lets the researcher import transcripts and media files, mark and code passages, organise codes into families, search across the data and draw network views showing how concepts relate. It is therefore mainly used for qualitative analysis, along with similar tools such as NVivo and MAXQDA.

Stata, SAS and IBM SPSS Statistics are statistical packages built for quantitative data. They are used for descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression, analysis of variance and other numerical procedures on large data sets. They are not mainly meant for coding and interpreting textual or visual material, so they do not suit qualitative analysis.

Hence, ATLAS. ti.
