Answer: The right answer is the C) Event recording.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this type of observation recording method measures or documents the number of times a target or specific behavior occurs-the school counselor is writing down how many times the student gets out of his seat while completing a classroom activity. It involves the use of a tally or check sheet that records how many times the student engages in that behaviour and the time period in which the behavior is being observed.
