Answer:

D.  One variable should change and the others should be kept the same

Explanation:

Variable in an experiment are defined as the things that changes. There are three variables in an experiment: dependent, independent, and controlled.

Independent variable is defined as the variable which is changed by researcher during an experiment and it influence the dependent variable to be changed. Controlled variables are required to be constant in an experiment and observe them carefully.

In an experiment, it is important to change only one variable that is independent variable because changing other variables can make the result confusing and if only one variable will be changed, it would be easy to observe changes in other variables.

Hence, the correct answer is "D.  One variable should change and the others should be kept the same".
