Question

Lainelle Albeza · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The experimental group is the group that is exposed to the treatment being tested in the experiment. This allows for comparison between the treatment group and a control group. A placebo would be given to the control group to establish a baseline for comparison, but it would not make the control group the experimental group. Being informed about the treatment or lack of debriefing does not make a group the experimental group.
