Solution
Answer
The answer is increases, increasing
Explanation
Option 1: increases, increasing
Triangulation in research refers to the use of multiple methods or data sources to enhance the credibility and validity of the results. This approach increases the richness of the data by providing a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem. However, it also increases the complexity and costs of the research because it involves more resources, time, and effort to collect and analyze data from multiple sources.
Option 2: decreases, increasing
This option is incorrect because triangulation does not decrease the richness of the data. Instead, it enhances it by incorporating diverse perspectives and methods.
Option 3: decreases, decreasing
This option is incorrect because triangulation neither decreases the richness of the data nor the complexity and costs. It actually increases both.
Option 4: increases, decreasing
This option is incorrect because while triangulation increases the richness of the data, it does not decrease the complexity and costs. In fact, it increases them due to the additional resources required.
