D.

Answer 1

The plot link doesn't work!

Answer 2

Have you actually graphed out the plot yet?

Answer 3

Since time is usually measured over time, it is going to be on the horizontal axis.

Answer 4

The independent variable does not rely on another variable. Since time is controlled by nothing, it is the independent variable. Calories is the dependant variable because over time, the calories increases.

Answer 5

Does that make sense?
