Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Naturalistic observations, case studies, and surveys all involve describing behavior. Naturalistic observations involve observing behavior in a natural setting without any manipulation of variables, case studies involve in-depth descriptions of individual cases, and surveys involve collecting self-report data on behavior and attitudes. None of these methods show cause-and-effect relationships, and they do not take place in an artificial setting as they aim to describe behavior in real-life situations.
