Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect: Technology adds value to sociological research even without universal internet access, such as via local digital datasets or analytical tools.
• The second option is incorrect: Remote work for sociological researchers via technology does not depend on having a grant; many use standard digital tools for remote work without grant funding.
• The third option is correct: Digital tools and online databases let sociologists access large-scale datasets (like survey archives, social media data) that were previously hard to obtain.
• The fourth option is correct: Open-source tools, free online platforms, and crowd-sourced data allow researchers to design and run small-scale studies without relying on institutional grants or affiliations.
