Explanation / Answer
The correct answer is option C that is when no new findings emerge as more participants are interviewed because data saturation means that point of time where sampling more data will not lead to more information related to the research question. Even when the new participants are interviewed and applying their ideas would not give any further data will determine that the data saturation has been reached.
