If you can have more than 1 answer then the dependent variable is graphed on the Y-axis and and is usually used for comparison since they are usually the experiment results. If you can only have one answer then the dependent variable is graphed on the y-axis.
I have the same question right now and i think that it is D
The answer to your question is A.
Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed=
Joules
m= mass of substance = 86.8 g
c = specific heat capacity = ?
Initial temperature of the water =
Final temperature of the water =
Change in temperature ,
Putting in the values, we get:


The specific heat of the unknown metal is
