The independent variable is the one that you can control or manipulate in an experiment. In this case, since you're stating that the more time you spend reading leads to reading more pages, the independent variable is:
b. Time spent reading
This is because you have control over how much time you dedicate to reading, and this action influences the dependent variable, which is the number of pages read.
