Respuesta :

The correct answer is descriptive, as scientists are writing down the observations but not making comparisons.  

There are three kinds of investigations used by scientists in order to look for and establish explanations for the incidents in nature, that is, descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigation.  

In the given case, the scientists are using descriptive investigation. The aim of the descriptive investigation is to demonstrate. It should provide actual, factual, and systematic illustrations of the phenomenon without trying to conclude causal associations.
