Answer: D. water temperature

Explanation:

An independent variable is the something which can be altered or manipulated while doing an experiment so as to determine the effect of such change over the other variable that is the dependent variable or the experimental variable.  

Here, in the given experiment the water temperature is the independent variable whose effect can be observed on the dependent variable that is the average water flea heart rate.
