A
Ex-post facto research
B
Applied research
C
Action research
D
Case study research
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Non-experimental research is the type of research that does not involve the manipulation of control or independent variable. In non-experimental research, researchers measure variables as they naturally occur without any further manipulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ex-post is the opposite of ex-ante, which means “before the event."

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite studying facts that have already occurred, ex post facto research shares with experimental research design some of its basic logic of inquiry. Ex post facto research design does not include any form of manipulation or measurement before the fact occurs, as is the case in true experimental designs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kerlinger (1964) defined ex Rost facto research as: that research in which the independent variable or variables have already occurred and in which the researcher starts with the observation of a dependent variable or variables.
