To determine whether treatment C is effective for pain management, a study was conducted. From a large population of people experiencing chronic pain, 150 participants were selected at random. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive treatment C, and the other half did not. Participants who received treatment C reported better pain management than those who did not. Based on this information, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion?Choose 1 answer:(A) Treatment C is likely to improve the pain management of people experiencing chronic pain.(B) Treatment C will cure multiple underlying causes for pain.(C) Treatment C will improve the pain management of anyone who is in pain.(D) Treatment C improves pain management more than all other available treatments.
