Answer:

B. Independent variable

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to effect a response in another variable, called the dependent variable.

In this experiment where Rachel adds varying amount of light in order to see how it impacts plant growth over time. The independent variable is the SUNLIGHT because it is what is changed or manipulated by Rachel. The dependent variable is the plant growth.
