In a one-factor between-subjects ANOVA, the total variation in scores can be separated into between-groups and within-groups components. The between-groups component represents the variation between the group means, while the within-groups component represents the variation within each group. This decomposition allows us to examine the extent to which the independent variable (i.e., the factor) influences the dependent variable (i.e., the scores). Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
