The correct option is A.
Fitness refers to the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within an evolution. Fitness can be defined in respect to a genotype or a phenotype. Relative fitness is described as the survival or reproductive rate of a genotype or phenotype relative to maximum survival or reproductive rate of other genotypes in the population. Thus, the fitness of a population can be determined by finding out the number of offspring that survive to adulthood.

Answer:

I think she should try the experiment one set with fertilizer, and one without. The negative control group would be the set of rose bushes grown without the fertilizer, but under the exact same conditions as the experimental group. Then, if a difference is seen you can be sure it's accurate, since you tested with and without fertilizer under the same conditions. Sorry if i am wrong, I am not completly sure about this one. Again I might be wrong so sorry in advance.
