Answer:
A. How much decay happens in each flashlight
Step-by-step explanation:
In an experiment, the DEPENDENT OR RESPONDING VARIABLE is the variable that responds to changes being made to another variable called Independent variable. It is the variable that is measured by an experimenter.
In this question, an experiment was carried out to research the effect of sunlight on plastic decay. Three plastic flashlights were used for this experiment in which one was placed in a dark closet (control), and the others were placed in light at different times or intervals. However, the variable being measured or assessed is the decay of each flashlight. This means that "HOW MUCH DECAY HAPPENS IN EACH FLASHLIGHT" is the dependent variable.
