Independent variables are known to be the causes or treatments provided in experimental research. This means they are the factors that are purposely changed or manipulated by the researchers to see how they affect the outcome of the experiment. The control group, option D, is not an independent variable, as it is used for comparison and is not manipulated. Option A, the results or impacts, are dependent variables that are affected by the independent variable. Option C, the methods used for measurement, are not independent variables but rather the tools used to collect data on the dependent variable.
