The dependent variable in Anita's study is the amount of money donated to charities, as this is the variable that she will be measuring and comparing between the wealthier and less wealthy cities. The other options listed are either independent variables (such as the average income in the cities or the operational definition of wealth) or potential confounding variables (such as the average income of the research participants, which may influence their likelihood to donate regardless of the wealth of their city).
