Answer:

D) to prevent bias in the data collection

Explanation:

If the researchers told the patients of the pill they took, it could create bias.

Bias can make the experiment's outcome end in a different way because of the way it influences the people taking the pill.

Bias can create another factor in an experiment, making your results unreasonable due to the addition of another factor.
