The correct answer is:
A. It would change the verb depend to dependent, which can be an adjective or a noun, according to its meaning in the sentence.
The suffix -ent transforms the verb "depend" into the adjective "dependent," which describes a state of relying on or being influenced by something else. The other options do not accurately describe the change or meaning regarding the word "depend."
