A Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'depend' takes the preposition 'on' when indicating what something relies on or is conditional upon. We say 'depend on the weather,' 'depend on circumstances,' 'depend on someone.' 'Depend over' and 'depend by' are not correct expressions. This is a fixed idiom in English grammar.
