Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the statement above?

  1. If a reputable source contradicts the statement

  2. If an experiment fails to replicate the statement

  3. If real-world data confirms the statement

  4. If personal anecdotes challenge the statement

The correct answer is: If real-world data confirms the statement

Real-world data confirming the statement provides the strongest support because it offers tangible evidence that the statement is likely to be true. Real-world data is considered more reliable and credible compared to personal anecdotes, experimental results, or contradictory information from a reputable source. While personal anecdotes and experimental failures can be influential, they may not always reflect a comprehensive or representative sample of evidence. Similarly, contradictory information from a reputable source may raise doubts, but real-world data confirming the statement is a concrete validation of its validity.
