The independent variable is the one that you change or control in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable. In the context of your options, if you are trying to determine how different factors affect the number of bubbles produced (which could denote some biological or chemical reaction), the independent variable could be:
- **Types of plant** (if you are testing how different plants produce bubbles)
- **Temperature of water** (if you are testing how water temperature affects bubble production)
- **Depth of water** (if you are examining how depth influences bubble generation)
However, if you are specifically investigating one of these factors, the one you manipulate would be the independent variable.
In summary, you need to specify the context of your experiment to accurately identify the independent variable. Each option can be an independent variable depending on the experiment's focus.
