Answer: Temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable can be defined as the factors that can be controlled in the experiment.

The dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The result of the experiment depends on the the independent variable.

here, the growth of mold on bread depends on the high temperature.

Hence, the independent variable is temperature in this experiment.
