Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The remaining children should not watch a television show to serve as a control group, meaning they will not be influenced by either a violent or non-violent program. This will allow researchers to compare their behavior to the children who watched either the violent or non-violent program. Therefore, the best choice is D.
