Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The control group is the group that does not receive the treatment being tested, which in this case is zinc supplements. The experimental group is the group that does receive the treatment, so it is not the correct answer. Investigation and research do not accurately describe the group that is not receiving zinc supplements.
