Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bats that were "sham injected" were not actually injected with the independent variable (presumably some sort of treatment), so they served as the control group. Therefore, the best choice is A) control. Additionally, since they did not receive the independent variable, there would be no expected change in the dependent variable, so the best choice for the second part is "no change in the dependent variable." Therefore, the full answer is A) control; no change in the independent variable.
