Answer: Independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable can be defined as the variable that can be changed by the experimenter.

The dependent variable depends on the independent variable as it changes depending on it.

Here, the experiment is to see the effect of sunlight in the different types of boxes which is made of different materials.

The boxes are made of different material and this is an independent variable in the experiment.
