Answer :

In the context of a hoax, the best example of believable evidence would be: C. A photograph of an alien spaceship landing on Earth. Explanation: 1. A photograph can be seen as a tangible piece of evidence that can be visually examined by others. 2. It has the potential to convince people of the existence of an alien spaceship landing on Earth due to its visual nature. 3. Unlike an eyewitness account (which can be subjective and prone to errors), a photograph can provide more concrete and verifiable evidence. 4. In the case of a hoax, a carefully staged photograph can deceive people into believing something that isn't true, making it a convincing piece of evidence for a hoax.
