Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Replication of a study is repeating a study’s procedure and observing if the prior findings repeat in similar conditions. A study is replicated when the results of original study are as closely related to the newly collected data.

Detailed explanation-2: -Replication is one of the key ways scientists build confidence in the scientific merit of results. When the result from one study is found to be consistent by another study, it is more likely to represent a reliable claim to new knowledge.

Detailed explanation-3: -When studies are replicated and achieve the same or similar results as the original study, it gives greater validity to the findings. If a researcher can replicate a study’s results, it means that it is more likely that those results can be generalized to the larger population.

Detailed explanation-4: -n. the repetition of an original experiment or research study to verify or bolster confidence in its results. In exact replication (or literal replication), a researcher uses procedures that are identical to the original experiment or duplicated as closely as possible.
