Explanation
The answer "Archeologists found tools and animal bones at Stonehenge" is the correct answer because it is the only statement that provides evidence or support for the claim. The other statements either express opinions (Stonehenge is scary so people don't go there at night) or provide unrelated information (Stonehenge is interesting and many people study it, Stonehenge is in France and is popular with the French people).
