A survey study typically involves asking a large group of people a specific set of questions in order to gather information or data. Question C is most consistent with a survey study as it is seeking a numerical value (number of hours per week) from a specific group (6th grade students) about their video game habits. The other questions may require other methods of data collection or analysis such as observation, experimental design, or content analysis.
