Univariate techniques are used to analyze a single variable at a time. When comparing samples from different populations using univariate techniques, it is important that the samples are independent, meaning that they are drawn randomly and do not have any relationship or groupings between them. Therefore, option C (independent) is the correct answer. Metric data (option A) refers to data that can be measured on a numerical scale, while nonmetric data (option B) refers to data that cannot be measured in this way. Paired data (option D) refers to data that is collected from two related samples, often before and after a treatment, which is not relevant in this scenario.
