Explanation:

In an experiment testing a new fertilizer's effect on plant growth, the experimental group is the one exposed to the variable (the new fertilizer). The first option involves plants getting different amounts of the new fertilizer, which is the group being tested. The other options (only water, in dark, only soil) are control or irrelevant groups not exposed to the fertilizer variable.

Answer:

the plants that get different amounts of the new fertilizer
