Explanation / Answer

Descriptive epidemiology provides a way of organizing and analyzing these data in order to understand variations in disease frequency geographically and over time, and how disease (or health) varies among people based on a host of personal characteristics (person, place, and time). This makes it possible to identify trends in health and disease and also provides a means of planning resources for populations. In addition, descriptive epidemiology is important for generating hypotheses (possible explanations) about the determinants of health and disease.

Thus it uses case studies, reports and cross sectional studies as the design strategy.

Hence option 3 is correct.
