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: -Reliability concerns the consistency and accuracy of an outcome for distinguishing between individuals. Replicability concerns the accuracy of research conclusions, and whether they can be obtained again using the same procedures in new studies.
