<em>The correct option is D) The statement expresses a belief that may not always be true.</em>
Explanation:
A fact is something that has been proven through abundant experimentation with each time giving the same results. A fact cannot be changed as it has been thoroughly tested through experimentation. Whereas, an opinion is just a view of a person or a group of people on a certain issue.
As the scenario in the question is not proven and just a view of the r=writer hence, it is an opinion. It may or may not be true.
