Answer:
b. naturalistic observation
Explanation:
In research, there are many methods of collecting data for a study. One of these methods is the naturalistic observation.
Naturalistic observation consists in observing the subjects of our study in their natural environment instead of using a laboratory to collect the data. Also, there is no manipulation of variables from the researcher but just observations on the behaviors of the subjects.
In this example, Emma wants to study the relationship that exists among college girls who stay in hostels. She then disguises herself as a college student and shares a dorm with some girls for a month, she observes their behaviors and makes notes.
