Answer:

C) Manipulated by the experimenter

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is manipulated by the experimenter. For example, researching the effects of different amounts of water given to a plant. The amount of water is representative of an independent variable because it is being manipulated by the experimenter since it is being altered.
