Answer 1

The correct answer is - option C. type of car.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable in any study, experiment, or research is a factor or variable which is the only factor that is manipulated or changed and directly affects the dependent variable. It is a factor that influences the result with the change in it.

In this case, there are all other factors are constant except the type of cars which is the independent variable as a change in it leads to the change in the distance of rolling.
