Answer:

b) Hours studied

Explanation:

You want the independent variable in the situation "the more hours Beth studies, the higher GPA she has."

Dependency

Here, it seems that Beth's GPA depends on the number of hours she studies. That means GPA is the dependent variable, and "hours studied" is the independent variable, choice B.
