Question
Under controlled conditions, a transpiration experiment was conducted using two different plant species, A and B. Each plant species was exposed to a low-humidity environment and a high-humidity environment, with all other conditions kept the same. The transpiration rate was measured over a period of one hour. The data was graphed as shown below.

**Graph Description:**
The bar graph displays the transpiration rates of two plant species—Species A and Species B—under different humidity conditions. The y-axis represents the transpiration rate (µl/cm²/min), and the x-axis displays two humidity conditions: low humidity (40%) and high humidity (80%). Each condition has two bars:

- **Low Humidity (40%):** Species A shows a higher transpiration rate compared to Species B.
- **High Humidity (80%):** Both Species A and Species B have similar transpiration rates, which are lower than in low humidity.

**Caption:** 
A bar graph of the transpiration rates of two plants under different humidity conditions.

**Question:**
What is the independent variable in the experiment?

A □  the type of soil each plant was grown in  
B □  the amount of water lost    
C □  the humidity the plants are grown in   
D □  the amount of water given to each plant
