The correct option that distinguishes a fact from an opinion is: **D. A fact can be proven true.**
Here's a brief explanation of the options:
- **A. A fact can be changed over time**: Some facts may change as new information is discovered or as circumstances evolve (e.g., scientific facts), but this alone does not distinguish between fact and opinion.
- **B. A fact can be supported with examples**: While facts can be illustrated or supported with examples, this is also true for opinions, which can be backed by examples as well.
- **C. A fact can be supported with evidence**: This is similar to option B; both facts and opinions can be supported by evidence.
- **D. A fact can be proven true**: This is the key distinguishing characteristic of a fact. It can be verified and is objective, whereas opinions are subjective and cannot be definitively proven true.
