Answer:

Blinded experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a blinded experiment. a blind or blinded experiment is one where thise information that could influence the participants of the experiment are withdrawn from the participants until after the experiment has seen a completion.

In the question, the participants do not know which of the drugs they are being given. They all think they are getting the same thing
