The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Running multiple trials of an experiments gives more opportunities to provide different results. That way, instead of going off of one answer and risking inaccuracy, you can be confident in your answer and have data to support your answer. This also ties into consistency because you get various results, and you can’t prove anything with only one literal tested result from what May be your hypothesis.
