a. Steven watches the news carefully jotting down ideas from the top headlines of the day.

Reason: The survey method involves asking or consulting people (surveys, polls, audience questions) to gauge interest. Allison’s and Farrah’s actions use survey results or direct audience input; Steven’s just gathers ideas from the media, not from a survey.
