Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suzanne is being asked questions about her preferences, so it is survey research. This is not secondary research because she is being directly asked rather than data being gathered from other sources. It is not uncontrolled research because there is a person with a clipboard directing the questions. Finally, it is not observation research because she is being asked questions rather than being observed.
