The best sentence for a writer to include in order to develop the topic with well-chosen, relevant, and sufficient facts is:
**Data collected by a local police station failed to show an increase in crime during full moons.**
This sentence directly supports the thesis statement by providing evidence that challenges the notion that a full moon influences behavior, thus reinforcing the argument that there is little scientific evidence for such claims.
