The correct response is:
**Yes, an observational study would be best for this scenario because a treatment is not being applied to the sample.**
In this case, Cesar is interested in whether there is a correlation between eating breakfast and grades without manipulating any variables (like providing breakfast to some students and not to others). Hence, an observational study is appropriate for gathering data on this relationship.
