Correct Answer
A. It had crayon all over the side of it.Explanation
The correct answer is "It had crayon all over the side of it." This is because the presence of crayon all over the side of the T.V. indicates that it belongs to Lincoln. The other options do not provide any direct evidence of ownership. The fact that it had his name on the bottom or that the serial number matched his T.V. could be coincidental or easily manipulated. Seeing the man who stole it also does not necessarily prove ownership. Therefore, the crayon marks on the side of the T.V. are the most compelling evidence.Rate this question:
