1.1 What Is Science? 1. By measuring the height of the tortoise, this
scientist is gathering
a. independent variables.
b. dependent variables.
c. quantitative data.
d. qualitative data.

Hi!! The answer is C.
This is the answer because quantitative data has to do with numbers. When the scientist is measuring the height of the tortoise, they are measuring data. Data in numbers is known as quantitative data. It is not qualitative data because qualitative data is about what you see and observe with your eyes, not numbers. Independent and dependent variants have nothing to do with gathering data. they are parts of an experiment and don't apply to this question because is only asking about the types of data. hope this helps, also could i get brainliest? trying to get to 8 :)
