Question

Answer this question.

An on-going research study has been tracking the dietary preferences of gorillas in the wild. Researchers are hoping to formulate a diet for gorillas in captivity that mimics those living in their natural habits. By reproducing the preferred diet, researchers hypothesize that the eventual release back into the natural habitat will be an easier transition for the gorillas.

Researchers are using various methods to make observations and collect data about the feeding habits of gorillas in the wild. Which method would be classified as direct observation?
A) Counting and classifying the debris in the area where the gorillas live.
B) Observing the gorillas from a protected location and recording what they eat.
C) Surveying the natives in the area about the diet of the local gorilla population.
D) Photographing the habitat of the gorillas in a before and after scenario and seeing what is missing from the after photograph.
