CRM only indicates "Evidence obtained from outside sources is more reliable than from within the organization. ", Thus, if the evidence is displayed in front of you is provided by the organization, the answer is D, if the the evidence is displayed in front of you is found by yourself, the answer should be A. The question should be considered more about who provides the evidence.
