In experimental design, the group that receives the treatment is called the treatment group and the group that does not receive the treatment is called the control group. In this context, the job training is considered the treatment, so the people who receive training form the treatment group and the people who do not receive training form the control group. Therefore, the best choice is C, where "treatment" corresponds to the group that receives training and "control" corresponds to the group that does not receive training.
