Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The control group is a level of the independent variable that does not receive a manipulation, so it is the best option. The experimental group is the level of the independent variable that does receive a manipulation, so option A is incorrect. Option B has the independent variable listed first, but it should be listed as a factor being manipulated, not a level. Option D has the control group listed second, but it should be listed first as the group not receiving the manipulation.
