Answer: b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental group is the group which receives the test by the variable. The changes in the experimental variable are brought by the independent variable that is the variable which can be changed or manipulated.

The control group is the group which is used as a standard in an experiment. It does not receive any treatment. It is used as a benchmark for experiment.

The subjects of the control and experimental groups should be kept same in an experiment on the basis of their characteristics. This aid in the purpose of the comparison.
