Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The best way to minimize confounding variables is to offer another activity that gives similar time and attention to control group participantsknown as a placebo. Otherwise, the participant's knowledge of not receiving a treatment may affect the study's results. None of the other answers would control for this potential confounding variable.
