Answer:

(a) independent variable; dependent variable

Explanation:

In research, we usually have two different types of variables:

  • The independent variable is the one that the researchers can control and that will have an effect on another variable.
  • The dependent variable is the one that cannot be control and that is affected by the independent variable. Researchers observe this variable to see how it changes. This is the variable that will be tested or measured.

Therefore, the independent variable is manipulated by the researcher and the dependent variable is a characteristic or measurement that resulted from the manipulation.

And the correct answer would be (a) independent variable; dependent variable
