Explanation:

• A survey involves asking questions. Here Ryan called each school (asked a question: "Do you have a recycling program?").
• Qualitative data describes qualities or characteristics (e.g., "yes" or "no" for having a recycling program). Quantitative data is numerical (e.g., number of recycling bins). An observational study would involve watching/observing, not asking.

Ryan conducted a survey where he asked about qualitative data.
