B.

the pressure is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation

The fuel efficiency of a car decreases as tire pressure decreases, in other words the efficiency depends on pressure


\text{efficiency}\Rightarrow depends\text{ on Pressure}

Hence,

efficiency: dependent variable

and

the pressure is the independent variable

I hope this helps you.
