The dependent variable is the factor being measured or tested in the experiment, which is the level of aggressiveness in the children at the end of the month. The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed by the researchers, which is the amount of violence watched on television. Option B is the independent variable, option C is not a valid choice as it includes both dependent and independent variables, and option D is not a valid choice as it includes the subjects of the experiment.
