Tan used naturalistic observation to initially observe the behaviour of shoppers, followed by a questionnaire survey to gather information about typical reactions, and finally an experiment to test the influence of a smiling person's face on returned smiles. Therefore, the correct order of research methods is naturalistic observation, survey, and experiment, which is represented in option D.
