Qualitative data.

Explanation:

The subject was placed in a strange room and appeared highly anxious, often fidgeting and glancing out the window every few seconds. Qualitative data is then represented.

The correct answer is A.

The type of data presented is cualitative because it describes chracteristics, behaviours or properties, in constrast with quantitative data types which quantify or measure realities.

It cannot be naturalistic data, because in such cases, subjects of the study are observed in their natural settings, and it is not the case here as it says that "the subject was placed in a strange room". Experimental data, cannot be the case either as they measure/quantity artificially controlled situations.
