Yes, an observational study would be best for this scenario because a treatment is not being applied to the sample. This type of study is appropriate when investigating the relationship between two variables (eating breakfast and grades) without manipulating any conditions or applying a specific treatment to the participants. Instead, the researcher observes and collects data on existing behaviors and outcomes.
