a. Independent Variable = The type of treat (chicken flavored or beef flavored)

Explanation: The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. In this case, Rebecca is changing the type of treat to see which one her kitten prefers.

b. Dependent Variable = The kitten's preference (which treats are eaten first)

Explanation: The dependent variable is what is being measured or tested in an experiment. Here, it is the kitten's preference, indicated by which treats are eaten first.

c. Control = The number of treats in each bowl (10 treats per bowl)

Explanation: A control is a standard for comparison in an experiment. In this scenario, the control is the consistent number of treats in each bowl, ensuring that the only variable affecting the kitten's choice is the flavor of the treats, not the quantity.
