The term for a group of subjects that receives all variables except the independent variable in an experiment is the control group.

Here's why:

* Independent Variable: The factor being manipulated or changed in the experiment.

* Control Group: This group serves as a baseline for comparison. They do not receive the independent variable, ensuring any observed changes in the experimental group are likely due to the independent variable and not other factors.
