A. Dependent
Explanation: Jada does not replace the first ball, so the composition of the remaining balls changes. The probability of a particular outcome on the second draw depends on what was drawn first (for example, if the first draw was the same ball the probability of drawing it again is 0; if it was a different ball the probability for a specific remaining ball is 1/(N−1)). Hence the two draws are dependent.
