Correct arrangement

direct evidence
indirect evidence
corroborative evidence

Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each evidence type to its defining characteristic: Direct evidence proves a fact without inference (e.g., a confession or eyewitness account), Indirect (circumstantial) evidence requires inference to connect it to a conclusion (e.g., fingerprints at a scene), and Corroborative evidence supplements and strengthens other evidence already presented rather than standing alone. These distinctions are foundational in forensic investigation and legal proceedings, where understanding evidence classification determines how it is collected, preserved, and presented.
