Final answer:

The control group is the part of the experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison.

Step-by-step explanation:

The control group is the part of an experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison. It serves as a basis for comparison and controls for chance factors that might influence the results of the study by holding such factors constant across groups so that the experimental manipulation is the only difference between groups.

The answer is the control group. It can be accurately described as the part that the samples of the subject are compared to to understand how the experiment changes the subject of it. It is not an object of tests
