Solution

The control group in an experiment is the group that does not receive the treatment or intervention and is used as a benchmark to measure how the other tested subjects do. In this case, you're testing the benefits of a new fertilizer on the growth of calamansi plants.

The control group should be calamansi plants grown in conditions as similar as possible to those of the experimental group, except for the variable being tested - in this case, the new fertilizer.

So, the control group should be:

c. Calamansi plants grown in soil with no fertilizer

This group will allow you to see the growth rate of calamansi plants without any fertilizer, which you can then compare to the growth rate of the plants with the new fertilizer. This comparison will help you determine if the new fertilizer has a significant effect on the growth of the calamansi plants.
