Answer:

D. To show that their writing is valid

Step-by-step explanation:

When authors present a new statement about something they assert to be true (a claim), whether in essays, scientific documents or argumentative writings, they need to show to the reader that the content of their piece of writing, which revolves around the claim, is valid or well grounded, that is to say, they ought to present evidence that supports their writing.
