Answer:

Dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In every experiment, there must be a dependent variable and an independent variable.

The independent variable is that variable that you have to manipulate in order to receive a response. E.g, in the experiment described in the question, the amount of sunlight a sunflower plant receives is the independent variable.

The dependent variable is the number of seeds produced. It is the response obtained by carefully manipulating the amount of sunlight
