The most reliable and valid piece of evidence among the options provided is:
**data collected from a controlled experiment that has been reproduced in several different labs.**
This type of data is considered more reliable because it comes from a controlled setting, minimizing external variables, and the fact that it has been reproduced in multiple labs suggests that the findings are consistent and not just an artifact of a specific experiment or lab conditions.
