Answer:

The correct option is;

Experimental study

Explanation:

We note that an observational study is one where the person who carries out the study only puts together data or observes the effect of a factor, an intervention or a test and comes to conclusion based on what is observed without trying to control the variables while an experiment involves the application of an intervention to the group and taking down the effects.

The conditions of the study is directly under the influence of the researcher in an experiment such that the cause and effect relationship of an event can clearly be proved

Therefore, Jada is performing an experimental study.
