The one not experimented on.
The control group is used to compare results to, to check that the changes you made during the experiment were responsible for the results seen in those groups.
In other words, you use the control to confirm if the results shown in the experiment were caused by the independent variable (the variable that you change and are trying to investigate).

What does control mean in the meaning of science?
When doing experiments you have to have a control group and an experimental group. The control group is not given a drug (for example), while the experimental group is. This will show (later on) if the drug had a real effect. Sometimes the control group will be given what is called a placebo. This looks just like the drug that the experimental group is given, except it has nothing in it.
