Answer:

D. To support a claim

Step-by-step explanation:

Evidence is a way that you have to show that your claim is not a mere opinion. Supporting a claim with facts makes your claim valid, carrying way much more weight than a claim without any evidence. Also, it helps people to accept your claim when it would otherwise be considered hard to believe or just silliness.
