Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

In order to determine if exercise will result in an improvement in mood, an experimental study needs to be conducted. Experimental studies are the only form of research that can imply causation. Experimental research consists of randomly assigning participants to a control group as well as an exercise group.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A), A correlational study with a sample of 40 adults, doesn’t refer to an experimental study. So, option (A) is incorrect.

Option (C), A case study of one psychology student’s experience with exercise, doesn’t refer to an experimental study. So, option (C) is incorrect.

Option (D), A longitudinal study tracking exercise and mood over two years in a sample of 100 grade school children, doesn’t refer to an experimental study. So, option (D) is incorrect.

Therefore, the options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.
