Answer 1

Answer:

b) a correlational study

Explanation:

Correlational study: In psychology, the term correlational study refers to the phenomenon that explains whether a relationship exists between at least two or more than two variables and the degree to which a relationship occurs.

The correlational study is a type of research method that gathers information about a specific situation or topic where experimenting isn't possible.
