In structural equation modeling, exogenous variables __________, and endogenous variables __________. (choose the most accurate response)
A) are predicted by variables; predict variables but are not predicted by variables
B) predict variables but are not predicted by variables; are predicted by variables and can predict variables
C) are predicted by variables and can predict variables; predict variables
D) are variables that are not included in the theorized model; are variables that are included in the theoretical model

Exogenous variables are those that are not predicted by any other variables in the model but predict other variables in the model. Endogenous variables are those that are predicted by other variables in the model and can also predict other variables in the model. So, option B is the most accurate response.
