Answer:

B. is dependent on the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is what the researcher changes. The "dependent variable" relies on the "independent variable." For example, the amount of water given to a plant is an independent variable. It is used to determine the size of the plant and the number of leaves, which both stand as dependent variables. Remember that every experiment is limited to only one independent variable.

The other type of variable is the "controlled variable." This is the variable that is not changed and remains constant in the experiment. For example, the type of plant used or the type of soil used.
