AA constant

BA variable ✓ Correct

CA cause-and-effect relationship

DA descriptive relationship

Correct answer: (B) A variable

Explanation

A condition or characteristic that can take on different values or categories is a variable.

Its capacity to vary across cases is exactly what distinguishes it.

A constant holds a single fixed value and does not vary.

A cause-and-effect relationship links variables but is not itself a single characteristic.

A descriptive relationship describes an association and again is not a lone attribute.

Variables may be discrete or continuous depending on the values they can take.
