Identify a true statement about basic and applied research.

Applied research tries to answer fundamental questions about the nature of behavior, whereas basic research is conducted to address issues in which there are practical problems and potential solutions.

Limiting research to that which has overt practical value can be counterproductive because research with no initial apparent practical value can ultimately prove useful.

Both basic and applied research are important, but applied research is considered to be superior to basic research.

All basic research studies are guided by the theories and findings of applied research investigations.
