Answer:

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is correct because a writer cannot actually use anecdotal evidence to support primary claim but can use experimental, statistical, or testimonial evidence to support his or her primary claim.

Anaecdotal evidence usually provides a weak support in an argument and only describes one or few examples. It cannot prove a general statement.

Whereas experimental, statistical and testimonial provide some strong supports to claims.
