The correct answer is: The weight of the chicken

GIVEN-
One chicken is injected with growth hormone and another is not.
Both the chickens are weighed after one year.
TO FIND-
Dependent variable in the given scenario.
SOLUTION-
In the given scenario, we observe that the chickens are weighed after a year of injecting growth hormone to one of them.
We know that injection of growth hormone is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the start of the year.
However, the weights of both the chickens will depend on which of them has been injected with the growth hormone and which is not.
Hence, weight of the chicken is the dependent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'b' i.e. 'The weight of the chicken' is the correct answer to the given question.
