Why is it important to include a placebo in a scientific study to assess the effectiveness of a drug?

A. It's actually unethical to do so-if you have a drug that you know to be effective, it's unethical to withhold that treatment from an ill patient. B. A placebo-treated group will determine if the changes observed in the drug-treated illness group are due to a psychological effect rather than a physiologic/pharmacologic one. C. It isn't scientifically important-a placebo simply helps investigators satisfy the legal requirements of the Food and Drug Administration in their testing process. D. A placebo-treated group will determine if the changes observed in the illness in this non-treated group are due to a physiologic/pharmacologic effect rather than a psychological one.
