Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The control group is the group that does not receive any special treatment in regards to the independent variable. This group is used as a baseline to compare the effects of the independent variable on the experimental group. The experimental group receives the treatment or manipulation of the independent variable. The correlational group and observational group are not typically used in experimental research designs.
