Solution

The correct option is C Speed of the car is an independent variable.
We know,
$Distance travelled = Time required \times Speed of the car$

$∴$ As speed of the car increases, the time required to travel distance between stops will decrease.

Hence, the time of travel is dependent, whereas the speed of the car is independent.
