Chloe created a new form of group therapy aimed at helping people lose weight. Several people were interested in participating in her study. Chloe had a third of the people participate in her group therapy twice a week, a third of the people go to her group therapy once per week, while the remaining third did not get to experience the actual therapy, but met once per week to discuss movies. All participants were weighed before the groups began. After 10 weeks, the participants were weighed again. Chloe was delighted to find out that the people who were in the first group lost an average of 15 pounds. What she did not know was that many of the people in the first group had joined the new gym that opened 2 weeks after the study began. What would be considered the confounding variable?
A) The discussion of the movies
B) The 15 pound weight loss
C) The twice weekly group therapy
D) The once weekly group therapy
