D) in vivo research.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Lilly's experiment is investigative and deceptive in nature, this makes it a covert research. A covert research is one in which the subjects are oblivious of the research being undergone. It is seen as unethical because of the concern for the rights of the research subjects

Answer 2

Answer:B) naturalistic observation

Explanation:

Naturalistic observation occurs when a researcher observes the participants in their natural environment without manipulating the experiment. This is done when doing a laboratory experiments will be unreasonable for the research question. Participants may not behave normal when they are in a constrained environment where they know they are being watched , they may even alter their behaviour to suit what is expected.

In their natural environment people behaves normal especially when they know they are not being watched , Which will give Lilly a perfect presentation of how students normally behave in class during a test.
