Nula is conducting a study in which one group is exposed to loud music while completing a writing assignment and the other group has quiet conditions.Further,Nula examines the effect of gender within these groups.Therefore,she is examining the effects of both noise and gender on participants' performance on a writing task.Which of the following reflects the type of variables present in this study

A)  one independent variable and two dependent variables 
B)  one control variable and two independent variables 
C)  one independent variable, one control variable, and one dependent variable 
D)  two independent variables and one dependent variable

Independent Variables

In experimental research, variables that are manipulated or controlled by the researcher to study their effect on dependent variables.

Dependent Variable

The variable in experimental research that is expected to change as a result of manipulations to the independent variable.

Control Variable

A factor that is kept constant to accurately test the impact of an independent variable on a dependent variable in an experiment.

  • Comprehend the connection between experimental and control groups and the function of independent variables as causative agents in experimental designs.
  • Classify and discern independent, dependent, and control variables in experimental scenarios.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The study involves two independent variables (exposure to loud music and gender) and one dependent variable (performance on a writing task). There is no control variable specified in the scenario. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
