Okube is trying to identify the situation variables in a negative interaction he had with another student. What is the first question he should ask?
O a. Did his personal beliefs contribute to the negative interaction?
b. Could he have done something to prevent the interaction from being negative?
c. What were the incentives for him and the other student to behave the way they did?
d. How many people were watching the interaction and how self-conscious did he feel?

c. What were the incentives for him and the other student to behave the way they did?

Explanation:

Variables represent something to be measured. Analyzing the relationship between variables aims to determine whether or not an independent variable displays any alterations in the dependent variables.

In this case, the independent variables are the incentives both of the students had to behave the way they did. The other options refer only to Okube´s incentives or the influence of only one independent variable (the possible self-consciousness about having people watching).
