Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientist B might want to replicate the experiment of another scientist A in order to assess the claims made by scientist A. In other words, replication of the experiment of another scientist is done to see if a similar outcome would be arrived at or there would be variations.

The claims made by a scientist while reporting the outcome of a particular experiment must be reproducible by another scientist under similar conditions. Otherwise, the claims are said to be false.
