Answer 1

A) Ethnography

Step-by-step explanation:

When companies want to understand how their customers' cultural trends, attitudes, lifestyle and social context affect their purchasing habits and choices, they will carry out ethnographic marketing researches (EMR).

In this case, Clark carried out a EMR through observation without engaging directly with the subjects since he didn't use any types of surveys or focus groups.
