Answer: d. the type of behavior children exhibits in school.

The dependent variable in the experiment is the variable a researcher is interested in. The researcher would like to know if the independent variable will affect the dependent variable.

In the example, the number of times a family eats together is the independent variable. The dependent variable which the researcher is interested in is the type of behavior children exhibits in school.
