A carefully controlled artificial situation that allows researchers to isolate hypothesized causes and measure their effects precisely is commonly known as an experiment. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A (a random sample) is the process of selecting participants randomly from a given population. Option B (a population) refers to a group of people, objects, or events that share common characteristics and are of interest to researchers. Option D (a sample) refers to a group of participants selected from a larger population to represent that population accurately.
