You are conducting an experiment to determine the effect of music on the anxiety level of mice. You have 4 enclosures which contain speakers to deliver 3 different types of music to the mice.

What is the independent variable in this experiment? A) Cortisol level B) Time kept in the enclosures C) Type of music D) Number of mice in each trial
