Dr. seldor conducts a study in which she finds that alcohol consumption is correlated to an increased risk of diabetes. she publishes her results. dr. al-jaher performs the same study using different participants in another nation. dr. al-jaher's work is an example of a) scientific controversy b) replication c) empirical evidence d) a hypothesis

The correct answer to the question: Dr. Al-Jaher´s work is an example of:___, would be, B: Replication.

Explanation:

In research, one of the most important aspects that needs to be considered, in order for such research to be considered valid, is that the study may be replicated and the results may be also replicated and tested in different conditions. It is when this is done, replication of a study and its test results, that validation, and furthermore universalization of the findings as knowledge, can take place. In this case, a study was carried out by Dr. Seldor on the correlation of alcohol consumption and an increased risk of diabetes. The positive results she gets on finding such a correlation are no small matter. To ensure that these tests are not just characteristic of one group in a population, and that they can be taken as universal knowledge (formation of theories), then further testing must be done, and Dr. Seldor´s study must be replicated by others. That is what Dr. Al-Jaher does. He uses the same study, but applies it to people in another nation. This is a perfect example of replication.

i think the answer would be b.
