Options

• ARegression analysis, variance analysis, and so on
• BNumerical calculations, statistical modeling, measurement, research, and so on.
• CBrainstorming, interviewing, SWOT analysis, Delphi technique, and so on
• DFinding links between data and discover threat-related information

Explanation

Option C is correct because qualitative data analysis focuses on non-numerical, interpretive methods that gather insights through human judgment and structured dialogue - brainstorming generates ideas collaboratively, interviewing extracts expert knowledge, SWOT analysis identifies strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats, and the Delphi technique aggregates expert consensus through iterative feedback rounds.

Option A is wrong because regression and variance analysis are quantitative techniques that rely on mathematical relationships between numerical variables - the opposite of qualitative.

Option B is wrong for the same reason: numerical calculations, statistical modeling, and measurement are hallmarks of quantitative analysis, not qualitative.

Option D is wrong because while finding links between data to discover threat-related information describes a valid threat intelligence activity, it specifically describes link analysis - a distinct analytical technique, not a category of qualitative analysis methods.

Memory tip: Think "QUALitative = QUALitative human input" - if the technique involves people talking, brainstorming, or sharing opinions (interviews, Delphi, SWOT), it's qualitative. If it involves numbers and formulas, it's quantitative.
