Psychologists rely on scientific observation, rather than merely on casual observation. However, both these observations gather empirical evidence. Empirical evidence is the information gained from direct observation. In addition, scientific observation is systematic and carefully planned. Also, it is intersubjective; that means, it is confirmed by more than one observer.
Thus, scientific observation relies on empirical evidence, is intersubjective, and is systematically obtained.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d) all of the above.
