d. one-shot case study

Explanation:

One shot case is less ideal because it focuses on a single group being examined on a single occasion after an occurrence, procedure or intervention has been undergone.

Since there is no control group for reference, it is a poor design; any observed changes are only believed to have been triggered by the incident.
