External validity refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other settings or populations. If the results of an experiment can be applied to other circumstances, then it has high external validity. The other options are not as relevant in this context - construct integrity refers to the degree to which a measure or construct accurately represents the concept it is intended to measure, reliability refers to the consistency and stability of a measure or experiment, and internal validity refers to the degree to which the experiment accurately assesses the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
