Refer to the figure.
The figure shows a field set up to do controlled ecological experiments, divided into 112 plots each 5 × 5 meters. Suppose 40 plots are chosen for a study, 20 as controls and 20 as experimental plots. The control plots are left untreated. The 20 experimental plots all receive the same treatment: a specific level of insecticide. These experimental plots represent
A) 20 separate experimental treatments.
B) 20 replications of the same treatment.
C) the minimum number of plots needed for statistical analysis.
D) the number of plots needed to match the control plots.
