Answer: C

The partial representation of constructs such as social status, power and intelligence is called a variable.

A construct is an abstract idea that cannot be observed directly. A variable is a measurable aspect of it, such as income or education for social status, so it represents the construct only in part.

Measurement is the process of assigning numbers to variables. An operational definition says how a variable is to be measured, and a definition in general explains a term. The thing that partly represents the construct is the variable.
