Answer

(c) Three treatments

Work Step by Step

The factors are variables whose levels are manipulated by the experimenter. FACTORS = type of bee hive (active/nonactive/no) A matched pairs experiment compares two treatments which each subject undergoes. NOT MATCHED, because there are three treatments instead of two. Stratified random sampling draws simple random samples from independent subgroups. NOT STRATIFIED BY BEEHIVE Thus, we then know that answer (c) is correct since the three treatments are an active beehive, nonactive beehive, and no behave.
