Validation is the process of checking that a model accurately represents the real system it is trying to replicate. Verification is the process of checking that the model is constructed correctly according to its design specifications. While simulation and experimentation are related to modeling, they do not necessarily involve comparing the model to the real system to ensure its accuracy. Therefore, the correct answer is A) validation.
