Answer:

D. repeat the experiment to develop scientific consensus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Upon noticing an error in the experimental design Amir should fix the error, and repeat the experiment. Replicability of data is critical to attain scientific consensus. To reach agreement in the scientific community about the experiment it should be replicable in other science labs in different parts of the world.

D. repeat the experiment to develop scientific consensus.
