Explanation:

Dr. Altman is directly speaking with students to gather information about their recycling-related attitudes and behaviors. An interview involves direct verbal interaction to collect qualitative or descriptive data, which matches his approach. A projective test uses ambiguous stimuli to uncover unconscious thoughts, factor analysis is a statistical method for data reduction, and a Likert scale is a structured rating tool, none of which fit his action of speaking with students directly.

A. An interview
