C Correct answer
Explanation

The adverb form of 'independent' follows the standard rule: keep the base word unchanged and add '-ly'. 'Independently' is the correct adverb meaning in an autonomous or self-reliant manner. The other options are misspelled: 'independantly' and 'independentely' have wrong vowel combinations, 'independintly' drops the middle 'e'.
