○ animal studies
○ test tube studies

Explanation:

• Animal studies involve research on animals, not teenagers, so this is incorrect.
• Test tube studies are done in a laboratory setting with samples in test tubes, not on a population of teenagers, so this is incorrect.
• Qualitative studies focus on non - numerical data like experiences, opinions, etc. This study is about the frequency of a disease and related factors, which is more about numerical and population - based data.
• Epidemiological studies focus on the distribution (frequency) and determinants (factors) of health - related states or events in populations. This study is about the frequency of type 2 diabetes in teenagers and the factors present for those with the disease, which matches the definition of an epidemiological study.
