Out of the given options, the dependent variable would be the height the ball bounces (option B). This is because the student wants to investigate how the height the ball is dropped affects the resulting bounce height of the ball. The student would measure and record the height that the ball bounces for different drop heights to determine the relationship between the independent variable (height the ball is dropped) and the dependent variable (height the ball bounces).
