Answer: (B) The study is an observational study.

Explanation:

A study in which a researcher observe the behavior of the participants in a certain manner without interfering then is known as observational study. There is no control over the variables.

On the other hand , In experimental study has control over one or more controlled factors to study the change in dependent factor .

A survey that asks the opinions of students about a proposed tour program to a hill station is an observational study because there is no controlled factor .

Every body has their own opinion with any dependence.
