Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, this is an observational study because the researcher does not apply any treatment.

It's not an experiment because there is no experimentation involved. :)

It's not double-blind because in that case the researcher would have to apply something to two kinds of groups. one aware one the other not. not the case.

It's not D because  The observations are comparing two kinds of subjects and they are not looking for a cause and effect.

Answer:

a) an observational study.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of an observational study. An observational study refers to a study in which a researcher draws inferences from a population without interfering with it. In this case, the independent variable is not under the control of the researcher. This is an example of an observational study because the researcher is simply measuring the effect of each type of training, as opposed to interfering with the subjects.
