Final answer:

The right-hand column of a morphological matrix typically contains the 'attributes,' which are specific instantiations of the variables or parameters listed in the left-hand column. option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right-hand column of a morphological matrix usually contains attributes or specific instantiations of the variables, characteristics or parameters identified in the left-hand column. To construct a morphological matrix, designers or engineers first list out several variables or parameters, which can be different features or elements of a design (left-hand column). Then, for each of these, they brainstorm possible attributes that these variables could take on, which is what is recorded in the right-hand column.

For instance, if the parameter is 'Material for construction,' the right-hand column could list attributes such as 'Steel,' 'Concrete,' 'Wood,' etc. The purpose of the morphological matrix is to explore different combinations of these attributes to create diverse and innovative solutions in a structured manner.
