Answer 1

The correct answer is:

OD. The researcher exercises direct control over at least one variable.

In surveys, the researcher typically does not have direct control over variables since they are collecting data from individuals in their natural settings. In experiments, on the other hand, the researcher does have control over at least one variable and can manipulate it to observe its effect on the outcome.
