group B, only

Explanation:

A control in an experiment is that condition that is held the same and not of primary concern in the experiment.

Matthew wanted to test the effect of applying fertilizers on crops to the growth of beans plants.

In his set up, one can deduce that independent variable here is the fertilizer being applied. The growth of the plant depends on the effect of the fertilizer and this makes it the dependent variable.

The control in the experiment is that plant is watered using only distilled water alone.
