a. These data are results of an observational study.

Step-by-step explanation:

In observational study, individuals are observed or certain outcomes are measured without the observer trying to affect the outcome of the observation. The results of an observational study can be random, and there final results might not be expected prior to the study. In observational study, the observer does not affect the study because of ethical concerns or logistical constraints. In the case of this question, the observer might be under the constraint of not having the political influence of a direct experiment.
