If the hypothesis is accurate, the prediction would be that areas where the wasps are introduced are more likely to see a decrease in mealybug infection compared to areas where wasps are not introduced.
Which of the following hypothetical situations correctly tests the prediction listed above and includes both an experimental group and a control group?
A
B
C
To effectively test the prediction, the experiment should have an experimental group (where the wasps are introduced) and a control group (where the wasps are not introduced). Among the options given, option B is the only one that includes both an experimental and a control group.
