In a controlled scientific experiment, the dependent variable is the outcome that is measured in response to changes in the independent variable. In this case, the independent variable is light intensity, and the dependent variable is the growth of the plants.

Therefore, the best description of the dependent variable is:

**The height of the plants measured at the end of the experiment.**
