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 type of evidence is considered reliable and valid because controlled experiments minimize confounding variables and biases, and the fact that it has been reproduced in different labs indicates that the findings are robust and can be generalized beyond the initial study. Reproducibility is a key criterion for scientific validity.
