This helps in determining the effectiveness of the research process and identifying potential problems that may arise. Choice A, 'Sampling,' refers to the process of selecting a subset of individuals from a larger population for research. Choice B, 'Pre-testing,' simply involves testing something before the main testing phase. Choice C, 'Pre-Study,' is not a commonly used term in research methodology and does not specifically refer to the small-scale trial run described in the question.
