This question seems to be incomplete. However, thereĀ“s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: D. An apple that is grown locally tastes better than one that is grown far away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even without enough details about the source, the claims provided are sufficient to establish which could the least relevant. Claiming that an apple grown locally has a better taste than one grown somewhere far away from the consumer is a personal opinion, meaning that is not valid as evidence. On the other hand, claims about the factual benefits of buying from local farmers are legitimate claims.
