Option A - INCORRECT.
The use of ''of'' does not give a clear insight on how true the evidence can be use to justify the past event.
Option B - INCORRECT.
The sentence seem to have stopped half way even as it tries to explain and support the theory been propounded.
Option C - CORRECT
However, ''That'' as a conjunction in this sentence shows that the theory has been tested and approved to be used in getting the fact about the occurrence, and it further explains how it will affect fact finding.
Option D - INCORRECT.
This sentence is close to the answer needed but, still seems not to be well justified as a strong hold in supporting fact finding on the past occurrence.
Option E - INCORRECT
At this point only clear and justifiable evidence are needed not an assumption, ''of support'' may not be truly needed as an element in the proposed theory .
