Answer: The answer is B). External validity

Explanation: External validity is the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to and across other situations, people, stimuli, and times. Therefore, replications in experimental research are imperative I.e conducting the study over again, generally with different subject populations or in different settings and then having the same result. This way, the researcher's conclusions can be accurately generalized to the population at large.
