The anwer is B. Longitudinal.

Explanation:

Longitudinal research is carried under the same conditions, over the same subjects over different periods of time. It's especially useful for examining behavioral data. However, the most significant disadvantage is that they are time-consuming and might be expensive. Moreover, the subjects might not even continue participating in the research.
