This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2021 Paper 2 Mathematical Science Question Paper (26-Sep-2021)
The correct answer is

Inflexible research procedures

Qualitative research tries to understand meanings, experiences and social contexts in the participants' own terms. Its guiding principles include communication between researcher and participants (research is a dialogue), the social construction of reality (people actively create the meanings studied) and reflexivity (the researcher examines how their own position and presence shape the findings).

Qualitative designs are, in contrast, flexible and emergent: research focus, sampling and methods are revised as fieldwork reveals new issues. Fixed, rigid, pre-set procedures belong to the quantitative, survey or experimental tradition. Therefore inflexible research procedures cannot be a principle of qualitative work.

Hence, the answer is Inflexible research procedures.
