Answer:

There is no bar graph attached to this question, however, the question can be answered based on the information given in the question.

The answer is A) average level of happiness

Step-by-step explanation:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable which is measured by the experimenter. It is the variable that responds to changes made to another variable called independent variable.

In the case of this question, it can be determined, even without the bar graph, that the experiment entails how candy allowance affects a child's happiness. Hence, the candy allowance is changed to influence or cause a response in the child's happiness, which is then measured. Therefore, the AVERAGE LEVEL OF HAPPINESS is the dependent variable.
