Dr. Michael examines the messages displayed on Internet bulletin boards in order to study whether males and females differ in the way they describe themselves when interacting with others. What type of archival research data is Dr. Michael using?a. Statistical records b. Survey archives c. Written records d. Video observation

C - written records

Explanation:

Archival methods involve the study of historical documents; that is, documents created at some point in the relatively distant past, which may include magazine or journal that will provide us access so that we might not otherwise have to the organizations, individuals, and events of that earlier time

In this case Dr Michael is making use of some records that have been documented earlier for future purposes.

Written records are the main source of information about work that has been undertaken, decisions made and implemented and incidents that have occurred. They provide information about workers' actions in the event of a complaint or disputed decision

the right answer is: time
