An example of structured observation from the options provided is:
After receiving an anonymous tip, a supervisor observes his staff to see if any of them are downloading music while they should be working.
This is considered structured observation because it involves a specific focus on particular behaviors (downloading music) within a defined context (working hours), often guided by a set of predetermined criteria.
