Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Treatment conditions typically involve manipulating variables to observe their effects on subjects. In this context, groups A, B, and D are exposed to different substances (caffeinated, none, non-caffeinated) to see the effects on some outcome, which is a common setup in experimental designs. Group C, completing an alertness task, is not a treatment condition but rather an activity or measurement that could be used to assess the effect of a treatment.
