propose different conclusions from the same data study the data to evaluate the conclusion change current models to fit the conclusion develop new technologies based on the conclusion
I gave my students this multiple choice question: When a conclusion is reached after an experiment, which is most likely the first step other scientists might take when checking the conclusion?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- propose different conclusions from the same data
- study the data to evaluate the conclusion
- change current models to fit the conclusion
- develop new technologies based on the conclusion

Could you tell me which one is correct?

study the data to evaluate the conclusion
