C)Extraordinary claims
D)Falsifiability

The critical-thinking concept being described is replicability, which refers to the ability to consistently replicate research findings using different methods or samples. The repeated findings of similar outcomes in this scenario indicate that the correlations between different assessed aspects of intelligence and Spearman's concept of general intelligence are replicable.
