Answer:

Option D, Type of soil

Step-by-step explanation:

A control variable is the one which remains unaltered throughout the experiment so that relationship between other variables could be established accurately.

Here, the impact of pH is to be studied on the growth rate of plant. However, we can see that the plant type, pH level and growth rate are continuously changing. Only the soil type is consistent throughout.

Hence, option D is correct
