and control groups using either a random number generator or a
random number table
C. An experiment that features many groups of subjects as well as
different kinds of tests, if possible

Final answer:

Blocking in experimental design involves grouping units into homogeneous blocks to reduce variation, as seen in the randomized complete block design (RCBD) used in agricultural field experiments.


Explanation:

Blocking is a form of design control in experiments where units are grouped into homogenous sets called blocks. One common type is the randomized complete block design (RCBD) used in agricultural field experiments to reduce variation. The purpose of blocking is to achieve homogeneous experimental units within the blocks.
