Explanation

An experiment is specifically a method used to test a hypothesis by manipulating variables under controlled conditions. While experiments often take place in labs (option B) or may involve new methods (option C), these do not fully define an experiment. Deceiving participants (option D) is unethical and unrelated to the definition.
