A self-report measure refers to a method of collecting data through participants' responses to questions or statements about their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or behaviors. Therefore, a person's written response to a questionnaire (option C) fits this definition. Options A, B, and D measure behaviors directly without requiring participants to report their thoughts, feelings or beliefs.
