D control group

Gabriel Mitchell · Answer 2

Answer: d. control condition

Explanation:

When carrying out an experiment, a control condition is set up to provide a baseline against which the result of the experiment can be compared. For example, when measuring the effects of a new medication, a control group is usually set up and the members of the group are given a placebo. This will not contain any of the active ingredients of the medicine and it acts as a way to evaluate the real effects of the medication.
