Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An experiment is a type of research study in which one variable (independent variable) is manipulated by the researcher, while all the other factors (dependent variables) are held constant.

Other options such as content analysis, ethnography, and correlational study do not involve manipulating the independent variable.
