C.The number of tables is neither an independent nor a dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Stephanie is a wedding planner. She has assigned 4 workers for decorating tables with flower bouquets. There are 18 tables at the wedding. If Stephanie increases the number of workers to 8, the tables will be decorated twice as quickly.

Here we see that 18 tables is a constant at the wedding.  Here variables or changing factors are only no of workers and time taken for decorating.

Thus the table number does not change and hence cannot be a variable at all.

So correct answer is

C.The number of tables is neither an independent nor a dependent variable.
