Answer:

The level of seed in each feeder

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable which is the suspected cause of an observation, it is the variable that produce the effect observed in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured

The independent variable is normally the x-value while the dependent variable is the y-value

In the question, Lana wants to find out the kind of birdseed that the neighborhood birds like (to eat) the most by feeding them different types of birdseed and measuring the level of the birdseed in the feeders at regular intervals

the independent variable is the bird seed types which Lana gives to the birds, to determine the type of bird seeds the birds like

The dependent variable is the level of the seed in the feeder which depends on the type of seeds the birds like.
