An observation in science is the act of noting and recording something using one or more of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). It is not an explanation (which is a hypothesis or theory), and observations can be either quantitative (involving numbers) or qualitative (descriptive), so options a, b, and d are incorrect.
