Answer:
D. temperature(minutes), or t(m)
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information given, only the temperature of the coffee and the amount of minutes it sits is involved. This means we can eliminate choices "A," and "B."
When something depends on another, it's outside of the parenthesis. So in this case, the temperature depends on the amount of minutes it sits on the desk, making the temperature outside of the parenthesis.
