Answer:

Correct answer is - Type of light environment

Explanation:

An Independent variable is the variable or condition that is controlled or changed in research or experiment to check the effect on dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable in any experiment that is being measured or studied. Plant growth over time is dependent variable and therefore the independent variable is type of light environment in this experiment.
