Which statement describes the dependent variable?
it is the causal variable.
it is the controlled variable.
it is the stimulus variable.
it is the measured variable.

The correct answer is D. It is the measured variable.

Explanation:

In an experiment or similar, the dependent variable refers to the variable or factor measured or studied. Besides this, this is called dependent because it is expected to change when the independent variable or factor manipulated by the researcher changes. For example, if a scientist wants to study the way radiation affects plant growth, the dependent variable is the growth rate of the plants (factor measured) while the independent variable is radiation (factor manipulated). Therefore, the statement that described the dependent variable is "It is the measured variable".
