Step-by-step explanation:

A controlled variable or constant variable is one which the researcher holds constant (controls) during an experiment. It is also known as a constant variable or simply as a control.The control variable is not part of an experiment itself it is neither the independent nor dependent variable but it is important because it can have an effect on the results gotten.

example of a controlled variable is temperature.
