The correct answer is: when it is directly related to the claim.

Relevance in evidence refers to its connection and applicability to the claim or argument being made. To be considered relevant, the evidence should provide direct and valid support for the claim and contribute to the overall reasoning and logic of the argument. Evidence that is interesting, new, or from a well-known resource may have some value, but its relevance is determined by its direct relation to the claim being made.
