The correct answer is: a variable that changes in an experiment due to another factor.
Explanation: An outcome variable, also known as a dependent variable, is what the experiment measures in response to changes made to the independent variable (the factor that the experimenter changes). It is the effect or outcome that is observed during the experiment.
