The first group used the computer program while the second group did not. Both groups were tested to determine how much their reading levels improved. The results for the two groups were compared. What kind of study is this?

yes, I agree that the first answer is the best choice
this is an experiment since we are deliberately separating the students into groups, and applying a treatment (using the program vs. not using the program) to each group
