C
INTERVAL VARIABLE
D
DICHOTOMOUS VARIABLE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An independent variable, sometimes called an experimental or predictor variable, is a variable that is being manipulated in an experiment in order to observe the effect on a dependent variable, sometimes called an outcome variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome) Predictor variables (they can be used to predict the value of a dependent variable)

Detailed explanation-3: -Independent variables are also known as predictors, factors, treatment variables, explanatory variables, input variables, x-variables, and right-hand variables-because they appear on the right side of the equals sign in a regression equation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Experimental variables are also called controlled variables due to researchers’ ability to control them.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone’s age might be an independent variable.
