What is reliability concerned with in research?

Cost-effectiveness of the procedure
Generalizability of the results
Ability to obtain the same answer repeatedly
The uniqueness of the research

The correct answer is: Ability to obtain the same answer repeatedly

Reliability in research refers to the consistency or stability of the results obtained. This means that the same study can be repeated multiple times and consistently produce similar results. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not describe the concept of reliability. Cost-effectiveness, generalizability, and uniqueness are important considerations in research, but they are not the primary focus of reliability. Reliability is specifically concerned with the consistency and repeatability of the results obtained.
