    Look at the table below. Which variable factor(s) were kept constant? - ProProfs

    Look at the table below. Which variable factor(s) were kept constant?

    • Water and temperature only

    • Water, temperature, number of hours and relative humidity, only

    • Number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight and relative humidity, only

    • Number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, relative humidity and number of leaves

    • Number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, relative humidity, only

    Correct Answer
    A. Number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight and relative humidity, only
    Explanation
    The table provided shows different variables, including number of plants, water, temperature, number of hours of daylight, and relative humidity. The question asks which variables were kept constant. The correct answer states that only the number of plants, water, number of hours of daylight, and relative humidity were kept constant. This means that the other variables, such as temperature and number of leaves, were not held constant and likely varied throughout the experiment.
