The height of a tree increases as time passes. Your friend says that time is the dependent variable because size depends on time. Is your friend correct? Explain. A. Yes; height depends on time, so time is dependent variable and height is the independent variable. B. Yes; time depends on height, so time is dependent variable and height is the independent variable. C. No; time depends on height, so height is the dependent variable and time is the independent variable. D. No; height depends on time, so height is the dependent variable and time is the independent variable

The Dependent Variable is what is being measured. The Independent Variable is, in a way, the thing that you cannot necessarily control; it works "independently."

The height of the tree is being measured, so that is the Dependent Varible.

Time will go on independently, regardless of the other varibles.

The answer is D.
