The static group design involves two groups - an experimental group (EG) that receives the treatment and a control group (CG) that does not. Measurements are made on both groups after the treatment. Therefore, choice D, with EG and CG correctly identified, is the best choice. Choice A is incorrect because there is no such thing as a "random group" in this design. Choice B is incorrect because the group that does not receive the treatment is the control group, not the experimental group. Choice C is incorrect because the pretest group is not a part of the static group design.
