Explanation: When you want to repeat an study to get the same results it is referring to a replication study because you must use the same conditions than the first study

Damarion Peters · Answer 2

From the information given, it is clear that Linus is conducting a Replication Study.

Explanation:

In order to conduct a 'Replication Study', it is necessary to regenerate the same conditions and situations that were prevalent during the earlier study. Here, in this case, Linus is planning to do the same.

A 'Longitudinal Study' is the one in which the data is fetched from a single source multiple times but at different instances. Meta-Analysis involves a combination of data obtained from various studies. Quasi-Experiment is more of manipulating the variables that are independent in nature just in order to determine what results are obtained.
