Time is the independent variable, and temperature is the dependent variable.
Time is the independent variable, and the beaker is the dependent variable.
Time is the independent variable, and the beaker is the dependent variable.
The Bunsen burner is the independent variable, and temperature is the dependent variable.
The Bunsen burner is the independent variable, and temperature is the dependent variable.
Temperature is the independent variable, and time is the dependent variable.

In the context of the table you provided, time on the Bunsen burner is the independent variable because it is what you are controlling in the experiment (you decide how long to heat the substance). The temperature of the liquid in the beaker is the dependent variable because it changes in response to the time being heated.
Thus, the best representation of their relationship is:
Time is the independent variable, and temperature is the dependent variable.
