Answer: Fertilizer

Explanation:

Independent variable can be defined as the factor which can be controlled by the person performing the experiment.

The experimenter can control whether he will put fertilizer in soil or not. The growth of tulips will depend on the fertilizer as it is a source of nutrient to the plant.

here, the hypothesis will be either accepted or rejected based on the result of experiment.
