The most reliable and valid piece of evidence among the options provided would be:
**"data collected from a controlled experiment that has been reproduced in several different labs."**
This evidence is considered the most reliable because it comes from a controlled experimental setting, which minimizes variables and biases, and it is valid because it has been reproduced, indicating that the findings are consistent and not due to chance or specific conditions of a single experiment.
