The correct answer is: C.) when it is used to support or refute something

Evidence refers to anecdotal, empirical, inferential, or statistical information that is used to support or refute a certain claim. For instance, if I claim that 60% of adults are overweight or obese, I will need evidence (information to support my claim) to prove it or convince people that my claim is valid. The evidence I can use is statistics from scientific studies, personal observation, etc., to back up or support my claim. Thus, when information is used to support or refute something, the information is considered a piece of evidence
