Jacqueline is conducting a direct observation because she is directly observing the child's behavior. It is naturalistic because the observation is happening in the child's natural environment (the classroom) during regular activities. It is unobtrusive because Jacqueline is observing without interfering with the child's behavior or the normal classroom activity.
