Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the variable being measured and observed in the study, which in this case is the progression of the disease (cancer). The other options are not relevant as the amount of money spent, number of participants, or dosage of drug received by one group do not determine the effectiveness of the drug in fighting cancer.
