Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be caused by years of heavy consumption of alcohol of gall stones. The pancreas plays major important roles such as secreting digestive juices into the small intestines, which help to digest fats, proteins, and the carbohydrates in food. It also release hormones insulin and glucagon that regulate the blood sugar. Pancreatitis is characterized by a pancreas being inflamed, therefore when this happens the body's normal complex coordination is disrupted and the enzymes in the pancreas are prematurely activated before they exit the organ, which results in these enzymes digesting the pancreatic tissue.

-Dominant- [34]

A claim is an unverified statement or theory which is made about something which may or may not be true.

<h3>Verification of a claim</h3>

For a claim to be validated, i.e, proven to be true (in science), then there needs to be tests and experiments which needs to be carried out to show that the claim is valid.

With this in mind, if for example if there's a claim that jewelweed helps to treat symptoms caused by poison ivy, then there needs to be a controlled experiment to see if this is true or not.

If after a series of experiments and it can be established without any iota of doubt, then the claim is valid and the scientific process will move to the next stage.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to give you a better understanding of the concept.

Control and experimental groups. They repeated their experiment several times and found the results were the same.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Experience 1 is the one that has the greatest reliability.

Explanation: Because of this potential variation, biological experiments need to have a large sample size and preferably be repeated several times. With more samples and repeating the experiment more often, the probability of arriving at a wrong conclusion due to random variation is diminished. As experience 1 has had several repetitions, it is the experience with a more reliable result.
