Answer: B, C, E

Explanation B is correct due to the fact the control groups are design to compare the results from the experiments to the control group which is ensures that the experiments actually work

Explanation: C is correct because each experiment group can only have one change made to it that differs from the control group. If you made multiple changes to one group you would not know what change you made that resulting in how your experiment ended up

Explanation E: An experiment is not scientifically proven unless you have a control group hence the need for both test groups and a control group
