the beans that were soaked the least amount of time the beans that were not soaked in water the beans that had the greatest mass the beans that grew the tallest
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Elias investigates whether soaking beans in water before planting affects how the beans grow. Which beans would most likely be the control group?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the beans that were soaked the least amount of time
- the beans that were not soaked in water
- the beans that had the greatest mass
- the beans that grew the tallest

Could you tell me which one is correct?

the beans that were not soaked in water
