In an experiment, the CONTROL group is used to test the effect of the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE... True or False?

I thought it was True, but I was wrong (it was a question on a test).In an experiment, the CONTROL group is used to test the effect of the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE... True or False?
False; the control is used to compare the effect of an independent variable as nothing is used on the controlIn an experiment, the CONTROL group is used to test the effect of the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE... True or False?
False because the control is not altered. It is just used as a base for comparison
The control group is to maintain a known component of the experiment. The independent variable is compared to the control value to determine results. The wording of the question is very tricky!
