C
doing an experiment again and getting different results
D
Doing an experiment again and getting the same results
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Getting the same result when an experiment is repeated is called replication. If research results can be replicated, it means they are more likely to be correct. Repeated replication of investigations may turn a hypothesis into a theory.

Detailed explanation-2: -replication (in experimentation) Getting the same result as an earlier test or experiment-often an earlier test performed by someone else. Replication depends upon repeating every step of a test, step by step.

Detailed explanation-3: -Repeating an experiment more than once helps determine if the data was a fluke, or represents the normal case. It helps guard against jumping to conclusions without enough evidence. The number of repeats depends on many factors, including the spread of the data and the availability of resources.

Detailed explanation-4: -1. What is the difference between replication and repetition? Both are repeated runs of your combination of factors and levels. Repetition does the duplicate runs consecutively while replication does multiple runs but during identical but different experimental runs.
