Answer;

D.It is also called the manipulated variable.

Explanation;

A manipulated variable is the independent variable in an experiment. It's called “manipulated” because it's the one you can change.

An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent variable. As the experimenter changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

it is either c or d and i know for sure it is not a or b
