The correct answer is an experimental study with one independent variable.

This study is an experimental study because it involves investigating a causal relationship between two phenomena. In this study the researcher is investigating the relationship and checking for causality between the size of a group, and its effect on conformity behavior. This study furthermore has an independent variable (i. e. a variable that is manipulated and controlled) which is the size of the group of people staring up at a window.
