The dependent variable is the variable that is being predicted or explained in the regression analysis, and it is typically denoted as y in the regression formula. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the dependent variable is what is being predicted, not what is used to predict the independent variable. Option B is incorrect because the independent variable is typically denoted as x in the regression formula. Option C is incorrect because it is the independent variable that is usually denoted as x in the regression formula, not the dependent variable. Option E is also incorrect because the categorical variable is not typically used to predict the dependent variable in regression analysis.
