    The correct answer is A) Replicability.

    Explanation:

    The principle of replicability states that the results obtained by a researcher, in certain investigation work, have to be the same for other researchers who are following the same steps. If the experiment cannot replicate under the same conditions, then it's not valid to the scientific community and therefore cannot be published.
