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 choice is preferred because it involves a controlled experiment, which typically minimizes confounding variables, and the fact that it has been reproduced in multiple labs suggests reliability and generalizability of the findings.
