Read Colin's argument.

Nowadays, one often hears complaints that drones can invade people's privacy. But this is not true. Flying drones is actually a sport. It requires coordination and technical skills like other sports. In fact, there should be professional drone-flying leagues. If people recognized this sport, they would no longer complain about where and when drone owners flew their drones.

Is Colin's evidence relevant to his claim?

Yes, because he gives evidence that flying drones is a sport.
Yes, because it is on the subject of people owning and flying drones.
No, because he only gives his own opinion rather than providing evidence.
No, because it is about flying drones being a sport, not about privacy issues.

Answer:

D). No, because it is about flying drones being a sport, not about privacy issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

The authors present sufficient pieces of evidence in the form of facts, logic, or citations while proposing a claim in order to establish the credibility of their claim before the readers and persuade them to believe in it.

As per the question, Colin's evidence would not be relevant to his claim as it describes 'flying drones as a sport' which has no affiliation to the 'privacy issues'. The evidence must support the author's claim or argument positively but here, it is instead misleading the audience by offering an obscure comparison. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
