Detailed Solution & Explanation
Before analyzing or drawing conclusions from collected data, it is necessary to verify its accuracy and consistency:
- **Scrutiny of Data**: This refers to the systematic, careful, and critical examination of the collected data to detect errors, omissions, inconsistencies, or logical contradictions. For example, verifying if the sum of individual components equals the total .
- **Internal/External Checking**: These are specific verification procedures, but the general and formal term for verifying accuracy and consistency in statistical methodology is scrutiny.
Therefore, the accuracy and consistency of data can be verified by scrutiny.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
