Amount of data to be collected depends on the research being carried out and accuracy of result desired.
In the above question, option C is applicable.
The data being collected should be relevant to the research work being carried out. In an effort to collect more data, focus should not be lost. The collected data should be relevant in terms of its authenticity and validity (should be current and not outdated). The sampling should be evenly spread among representative population. If this balance is not kept, then it will result in a biased result.
