Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A study that manipulates an independent variable in a naturalistic setting and measures the effects of this.
A
True experiment
B
Field experiment
C
Quasi experiment
D
Natural experiment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An experiment is a type of empirical study that features the manipulation of an independent variable, the measurement of a dependent variable, and control of extraneous variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -A manipulated variable, also known as an independent variable, is a part of an experiment that you can change to see how other variables respond. Here are the three types of variables in an experiment: Manipulated variable: The variable that you control and change based on the experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, in experiments, a researcher manipulates an independent variable to determine if it causes a change in the dependent variable. As we learned earlier in a descriptive study, variables are not manipulated. They are observed as they naturally occur and then associations between variables are studied.

Detailed explanation-4: -A variable that measures the effect that manipulating another variable has is known as: A dependent variable.
