In the question “How does pineapple consumption affect the number of digestive bacteria?”, pineapple consumption is A) the control group B) independent Variable
C) dependent variable D) experimental group

For the approach of how does pineapple consumption affect the number of digestive bacteria?, pineapple consumption is  the independent variable (option B).

Explanation:

The formulation of a hypothesis is not complete without the existence of the independent and dependent variables, the main variables from the research point of view.

The independent variable is one whose change or modification is capable of impacting the dependent variable, which is one that can be quantified or measured.

According to the approach, if somebody want to know how the consumption of pineapple influences the number of digestive bacteria, the independent variable is the consumption of pineapple, which can be controlled and modified, while the characteristic that is under the influence of this variable is the amount of bacteria, so that the latter is the dependent variable.

The other options do not apply because:
