Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be the group that was given a placebo.</em>

A control group in an experimental study is the group that is subjected to all other conditions except the variable whose effects are being determined during the course of the experiment.

<u>Since the main goal of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine, the difference between the experimental and the control group would be the vaccine.</u> Instead, the control group would be given a placebo - a substance that is designed not to have any effect but looks like the vaccine itself.

<em>Correct option: </em><em>C</em>
