The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that in a study of 698 Danish children with the developmental disorder, researchers found a disproportionately high number had been born before the 35th week of pregnancy, had suffered from low birth weights and were in a breech position at birth. The children, all of whom were born after 1972 and diagnosed with autism before 2000, also were more likely to have a parent who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia-like psychosis before the autism was discovered. What is the response variable in this study?
 a. time of birth (before or after week 35)
  b. birth weight (low or normal)
  c. birth position (breech or normal)
  d. presence of autism
