Jamie completes the following steps in an experiment to investigate how temperature affects how fast something will rust in water. He places a nail in a bowl of water in the sun and a nail in a bowl of water in the shade. He also leaves an iron nail out of the water in a dry bag out of the sun. Why would Jamie leave one out of the water and out of the sun?

A Jamie also wants to test if the water affects how fast the iron nail will rust.
B Jamie notices that the size of the nail is different, so he does not want to use it later.
C Jamie doing all these steps to create a control group to compare his results to.
D Jamie puts the nail in a cooler place to see if it will rust as fast as the other items.
