Controlled scientific experiments include variables. one kind of variable is an independent variable and the other kind is a dependent variable. which statement describes the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable?

See explanation below.

Explanation:

As its name says, the independent variable is the variable that the scientific/researcher will control while the dependant variable is the one who depends on the first one and the one who will be affected when the independent variable is controlled (the dependant variable changes in response to the independent variable). Also, the dependant variable is not directly controlled by the researcher.

i'd have to with d.

explanation:

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
