To identify the dependent variable in a relationship, you need to understand which variable changes and depends on the other. In this scenario, you should look for the variable whose value is influenced by the other.
In the given relationship, a person washes a car and earns dollars. The number of cars washed, represented by "c," does not affect the amount of money earned. However, the amount of money earned, represented by "d," is directly influenced by the action of washing a car. Therefore, the dependent variable in this relationship is the amount of money earned or "dollars," making option 3, "dollars, d," the correct answer.
