A study to test the hypothesis finds that with a bitter drink, performance is best 6 hours after drinking it, whereas with a sweet drink, performance is better 1 hour after drinking it. An interaction between the variables complicates the researcher's explanation of the findings. Which of the following are most likely involved in this interaction?a. test scores and high school students.
b. test scores and time of consumption.
c. flavor of drink and time of consumption.
d. flavor of drink and high school students.
e. flavor of drink and test scores.

Answer 1
