Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variable is defined as a behavior, event, or characteristic that can take on different values. The other options, such as theory, operational definition, and hypothesis, do not fit the definition of a variable. A theory is an explanation for a phenomenon that is supported by empirical evidence, an operational definition is a specific method for measuring a variable, and a hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between variables.
