The correct statement is:

The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis.

In a scatterplot, the independent variable (the one that is controlled or manipulated) is typically plotted on the x-axis, while the dependent variable (the one that is observed or measured) is plotted on the y-axis.
