b. the identical treatment of participants in two groups to determine the effect of a dependent variable on an independent variable

c. a systematic recording of behavior exhibited by participants in the laboratory

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is D- a carefully controlled scientific procedure that determines whether variables manipulated by the experimenter have a causal effect on other variables

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The experiment plays an important role in the investigation which represents the scientific procedure performed in the controlled conditions.

The experiment is performed to test whether the proposed hypothesis can be proved or not proved.  

Since the hypothesis contains the variables to be tested which could be independent and dependent which are tested in controlled experiments therefore, option-D is the correct answer.
