In a typical data analysis or statistical context, the dependent data (or variable) is the one that is being studied to see how it changes in response to other variables. Without the specific figure or context, it's impossible to definitively choose the correct answer based on content alone. However, if we assume that option C (#3) is designated as the correct answer, it would imply that #3 is considered the outcome or result that depends on the other variables in the scenario.
