The correct answer is: A symbol used to represent a variable quantity

A variable in mathematical expressions is a symbol that is used to represent a quantity that can change or vary.

Variables are placeholders for unknown or changing values in equations and expressions. Therefore, the correct answer is C: A symbol used to represent a variable quantity.
