A subject in a double-blind procedure would most likely say that they have no idea if they are in the experimental or control group and the researcher doesn't know either, as this is the purpose of a double-blind procedure. Option A is unlikely, as it suggests that the subject knows they are in the experimental group. Option B is also unlikely, as it suggests that the subject knows they are in the control group and finds it boring. Option D is incorrect because the researcher would not reveal the subject's group assignment during the study.
