When a another scientist does someone’s experiment to see if the results are valid?
A
repetition
B
replication
C
experimental method
D
controlled variable
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Replication of experiments helps to confirm and verify results. Scientists frequently perform other scientists’ experiments in order to practice their technique. Repeating experiments is an effective way to make sure a laboratory is in optimal condition.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Publishing results of research projects in peer-reviewed journals enables the scientific and medical community to evaluate the findings themselves. It also provides instructions so that other researchers can repeat the experiment or build on it to verify and confirm the results.

Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists aim for their studies to be replicable-meaning that another researcher could perform a similar investigation and obtain the same basic results. When a study cannot be replicated, it suggests that our current understanding of the study system or our methods of testing are insufficient.
