Observing people without their knowledge is not an ethical research practice and violates informed consent. Therefore, it is not an appropriate technique to reduce demand characteristics. The other options - ensuring participant anonymity, studying behavior not under voluntary control, and clearly identifying the purpose of the study to participants are all appropriate techniques used to reduce demand characteristics.
