Answer:

The answer is double-blind study.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a double-blind study, neither the researchers nor the participants are aware about which group is receiving the treatment. This type of study is especially useful to avoid biased reports, likely due to placebo effects; on the other hand, it also prevents researches from accidentally revealing information about the experiment.
