Which action is the best example of a direct observation?

identifying which bird was present by the tracks that it leaves in the sand at a beach

reading numbers on a heat sensor to conclude that there is a deer in the night woods

listening to a cricket chirp at night and counting the number of chirps per minute

determining the seal population of an island by counting seals in 10 square meters of the island

When having in mind the meaning of a direct observation, we can state that is the method of collecting information for a study by watching the subject directly without making any changes to its natural habitat. based on that we know that the best option is the last one: determining the seal population of an island by counting seals in 10 square meters of the island. I know this is going to be helpful

All I know is that I answered it with B....reading numbers on a heat sensor to conclude that there is a deer in the night woods and it is wrong!

I will try next time to select C...listening to a cricket chirp at night and counting the number of chirps per minute.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ON BOTH BRAINLY AND QUIZLETS THE ANSWERS VARY BETWEEN B and C. I dont know if people who have posted have ever gone back and checked answers so choose wisely.
