C. A national news broadcast reports that in South Dakota, teenagers as young as 14 years old can receive their restricted driver's permits.
This evidence is the most credible and reliable because it provides a factual basis for the argument by showing that there are already states (like South Dakota) that permit driving at a younger age. This can serve as a precedent for the argument and demonstrates that such policies are being successfully implemented elsewhere. It also highlights a legal framework that may support the case for lowering the driving age.
