Which statement best describes the variables in a controlled experiment?

Answer
A
The independent variable is changed to see its effect on the dependent variable while all other conditions are unchanged.
B
The dependent variable is changed to see its effect on the independent variable while all other conditions are unchanged.
C
The independent variable is allowed to change, and the dependent variable is held constant to see what other conditions show a relationship.
D
The dependent variable is allowed to change, and the independent variable is held constant to see what other conditions show a relationship.

Explanation

In a controlled experiment, the researcher changes the independent variable and measures how it affects the dependent variable. Other conditions are kept the same so they do not influence the result. Choice A correctly describes this setup; choices B, C, and D mix up which variable is changed or measured.
