An experiment was designed to investigate the effect of caffeine on the heartbeat of water fleas. Two populations of water fleas were grown. Both populations had water with the same mineral content, were supplied with identical amounts of food, received the same amount of light, and had their temperature maintained at 20ºC. Every two hours, water fleas from both populations were selected and their heartbeats were monitored. The fleas of population one had caffeine administered five minutes before their heartbeat was checked. The fleas of population two were given nothing. After the experiment, fleas that has been administered caffeine has a heartbeat rate of 58 beats per minutes on average, while the fleas that had not been administered caffeine has a heartbeat rate of 46 beats per minutes on average. What was the independent variable in this experiment?
a)
Temperature

Heart rate
d)
Caffeine
