What is the opposite of a variable?

What is the opposite of a variable? (a) a constant

(b) an extraneous variable

(c) a dependent variable

(d) a data set

✅ Correct option: (a) a constant

Explanation:

A variable is something that can change or vary. The opposite of a variable is a constant, which does not change. Constants remain the same throughout an experiment or research study. Extraneous variables are uncontrolled variables, dependent variables are outcomes, and a dataset is a collection of values. Therefore, the correct answer is a constant.
