A field experiment is one that takes place in

AThe real world ✓ Correct

BThe laboratory

CNeither the real world nor any setting

DA purely imaginary setting

Correct answer: (A) The real world

Explanation

A field experiment takes place in the real world under natural conditions.

A laboratory setting defines the lab experiment, not the field one.

Neither the real world nor any setting describes no experiment at all.

A purely imaginary setting suits no empirical study.

The field trades some control for higher ecological validity.

Manipulation still occurs, but within a natural everyday environment.
