The factor that is not a possible confounding factor is B. the expected sales for the year 2014.

What is a confounding factor?

A confounding factor is a third variable that influences or explains both the independent and dependent variables.

The independent variable here is the year while sales are the dependent variable.

However, confounding factors could include the number of new buildings constructed in 2013, which was not factored in by the architectural company and the state of the economy in 2013.

Thus, the expected sales for the year 2014 cannot be a confounding variable for the decreased sales in 2013 because it cannot explain the 2013 performance.
