Answer:

The answer is A) The given description corresponds to an observational study.

Explanation:

We can know that is an observational study because the definition of a observational studies are where researchers observe the effect of a risk factor, diagnostic test, treatment or other intervention without trying to change who is or isn't exposed to it.

In this case the researches are just monitoring the sleep of the students without altering anything.
