Researchers wanted to investigate which types of exhibits attracted the most visitor engagement at a local science museum.

The researchers monitored the main hall using the museum's security camera footage. Over five consecutive weekend days, they watched the footage for the first 10 minutes of every hour between 10:00 and 16:00.

Select two choices.
A: Controlled observation B: Time sampling C: Natural experiment D: Naturalistic observation E: Random sampling
