Answer 1

Answer:

A. Support for the facts, such as quotes from experts, statistics, photographic proof.

Explanation:

Evidence is proof that tries to confirm that something is true. It is presented as the support for the statement, fact, or belief. It should be something that gives either physical evidence or scientific, like previous academic proofs of something. Depending on the evidence itself, it can be strong and believable, or weak and dubious.

In writing and academic research, evidence can be presented in various forms – previous research, photographs, graphics, historic events, proofs from interviews and questionnaires, etc.
