A
a group with the same conditions as the experimental group.
B
a group with conditions found in nature.
C
a group with a randomly assigned population.
D
a group with the same conditions as the experimental group except for the study variable.
E

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Control-The control is the group that serves as a standard of comparison. It is exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group, except for the variable being tested. Dependent Variable-A dependent variable is a factor that may change as a result of changes in the independent variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the difference between a control group and an experimental group? An experimental group, also known as a treatment group, receives the treatment whose effect researchers wish to study, whereas a control group does not. They should be identical in all other ways.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ideally, the control group and the experimental groups are identical in every way except that the experimental groups are subjected to treatments or interventions believed to have an effect on the outcome of interest while the control group is not.

Detailed explanation-4: -A control group is used as a comparison for the experimental group. The control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive any change in the variable. This group is left as natural as possible and used as a control to see if there is a change from the normal results.

Detailed explanation-5: -A control group is (a) a group with the same conditions as the experimental group.
