C. The Independent variable
It is the variable that you manipulate, while dependent is the response.
Answer:
The center of mass of the Earth–Moon system is 4.613 × 10⁶ m from center of the Earth.
Explanation:
Let the reference point be the center of the Earth

Where;
Xcm is the distance from center of the Earth =?
Me is the mass of the Earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg
Xe is the center mass of the Earth = 0
Mm is the mass of the moon = 7 × 10²² kg
Xm is the center mass of the moon = 4 × 10⁸ m

Therefore, the center of mass of the Earth–Moon system is 4.613 × 10⁶ m from center of the Earth.
'Displacement' is the distance and direction between the starting point and
ending point, regardless of the path followed to get there.
A particle that's executing simple harmonic motion is always in the same place
where it was one time period ago, and where it will be later after another time
period has passed.
So its displacement during exactly one time period is exactly zero.
