The experimental group (EG) is the group that is exposed to the treatment, and the control group (CG) is the group that is not. In a static group design, measurements are only taken after the treatment, and units are not assigned at random, which matches the description of choice A. Choice C includes a pretest group, which is not part of the static group design, and choice B includes a random group, which is also not part of the static group design. Choice D reverses the order of the groups, which is not the standard naming convention. Therefore, A is the best choice.
