Here’s the classification of each scenario into the correct study type:
1. **A researcher measures blood pressure before and after giving a new medication** - **Experiment**
2. **A scientist records animal behavior in a natural habitat** - **Observational Study**
3. **A company asks customers about their satisfaction** - **Survey**
4. **A marketing team compares sales before and after a new ad campaign** - **Observational Study** (although it may also resemble a quasi-experiment as it involves a comparison, it doesn't imply random assignment to groups).
5. **A researcher randomly assigns groups to different diets and tracks results** - **Experiment**
6. **A researcher spends time in a pet store, and notes the pets that get the most attention, without influencing behavior** - **Observational Study**
