What is 'Circumstantial Evidence'?

Direct proof of a fact
Evidence which includes facts, conditions, and events from which an inference may be drawn as to the existence of the fact to be established
Physical evidence at a crime scene
Testimonies from witnesses

The correct answer is: Evidence which includes facts, conditions, and events from which an inference may be drawn as to the existence of the fact to be established

Circumstantial evidence is evidence that indirectly points to the existence of a fact, as opposed to directly proving it. This type of evidence may include facts, conditions, events, or other information that, when taken together, suggest the occurrence of a particular fact. It is not direct proof, as A suggests, but rather allows for an inference to be made. Option C and D are also incorrect as they pertain to specific types of evidence, whereas circumstantial evidence refers to the nature of the evidence itself.
