The study recorded the dietary intake and tracked the health of the participants, which is a characteristic of an observational study. The study found an inverse association between the consumption of green tea and the occurrence of prostate cancer, which means that increased consumption of green tea may lead to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. The use of the word "may" in the conclusion suggests that the study does not definitively prove causation. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
