Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The independent variables are the variables that are deliberately changed or manipulated by the researcher in an experiment. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it refers to the independent variables. Dependent variables are the variables that are measured or observed and affected by the independent variables. Codependent variables and confounding variables are not manipulated by the researcher directly, but rather are other variables that may have an impact on the outcome of the experiment.
