Answer: answer is D, descriptive, because the scientists are writing down observations but not making comparisons

Explanation:

According to the question, the scientists were making individual notes on their observation about shape, colour, size and other characteristics of the living cells. We do not have enough information to show that they were making comparisons.

I hope this helps.
