The unique challenge not faced when using secondary data analysis is that a researcher cannot facilitate comparisons with other samples. This is incorrect because secondary data can indeed be used to compare different samples if the data is relevant and appropriately scaled. The other options (B, C, D) accurately represent challenges associated with secondary data analysis, such as limitations on designing data collection methods, engaging in iterative processes, and making further observations to refine concepts due to the researcher not having control over the original data collection process.
