The correct answer is C. The temperature of the water
Explanation:
In an experiment such as the one described about the speed of snails in water, the manipulated variable is the factor or element that is manipulated on purpose. This means the researcher or researchers slightly change this element to compare how this affects another variable. In this context, the manipulated variable is the temperature of the water because researchers used three different temperatures (cool, room-temperature, and warm), and therefore they manipulated or changed this factor. Moreover, it is expected temperature affects the distance nails move, which is the main variable.
A molecule is made of more than one atom of differing elements that can be simplified while an element cannot be simplified because it is only one atom of one type of element.
Transpiration is the process where plants absorb water through the roots and then give off water vapor through pores in their leaves, so D would be your answer
