A well-designed experiment will contain both positive and negative controls. Which of the following is a false statement?
Choose one from the following:
(A) a positive control experiment is missing some of the components of the experiment and should give a negative result
(B) a positive control experiment contains all of the components of an experiment and should give a positive result
(C) a negative control experiment is missing the element being tested and should give a negative result
(D) if there are multiple components of an experiment, there should be multiple negative controls
(E) if a negative control experiment give positives results, it is likely that the experiment is contaminated
