Explanation

Circumstantial evidences are the collection of facts that, when considered together, can be used to infer a conclusion about the malicious activity/person. Answer: B is incorrect. Corroborating evidence is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some evidence. Answer: A is incorrect. Incontrovertible evidence is a colloquial term for evidence introduced to prove a fact that is supposed to be so conclusive that there can be no other truth as to the matter; evidence so strong, it overpowers contrary evidence, directing a fact- finder to a specific and certain conclusion. Answer: C is incorrect. Direct evidence is testimony proof for any evidence, which expressly or straight-forwardly proves the existence of a fact.
