Answer:

A. to start over with a new experiment

<em>Additional comment</em>

Quantum physics is teaching us that our world is formed by our consciousness. This sets the entire "scientific method" on its ear, virtually guaranteeing that the results you see are the results you expect to see. The "laws" of chemistry and physics bend to the will of consciousness in weird and wonderful ways.
