Option 2: "One experiment showed that all cancers can be cured by a new drug."
Reason: an experiment (if well designed — e.g., randomized controlled) involves manipulating a treatment and measuring its effect, which is the standard way to establish causation. The others describe case reports or associations/statistical links, which indicate correlation or attribution but not necessarily cause-and-effect.
