I believe the answer is D. Experimentation is performed several times in order to provide confirmation of scientific results.

On top of that, there are several things that experimenters had to keep in their mind during their experiment, such as

- Form an initial hypothesis before the experiment

- Make sure to use generally accepted standard & measurement during th experiment

- Make sure to cast aside subjective opinion in analyzing the data.
