Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Case studies, naturalistic observations, and surveys are all methods used to describe behaviors or phenomena. Descriptive research does not manipulate variables, but rather observes and records them to gain a better understanding of the subject of study. Correlational research examines relationships between variables, experimental research manipulates variables to determine causality, and longitudinal research studies a group of individuals over an extended period of time.
