Answer:

the dependent variable is distance (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The speed of a car = 45 miles per hour

To find:

the dependent variable

Dependent variable are variables which depend on another quantity

from the options:

a) 45 is not a variable but a constant

b) speed = distance/time

distance depends on time. A faster or lower time time will affect the distance covered

c) The car is not a variable

d) the time is an independent variable

Hence, the dependent variable is distance (option B)
