Answer:

Dependent variable: number of apples

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that isn't modified by the other variables measured in the experiment. In the example above indicated, the independent variable is the fertilizer used in the experiment. On the other hand, the dependent variable is the variable tested or measured in the experiment, thereby this variable is 'dependent' of the independent variable.
