Circumstantial Evidence allows?

A fact to be inferred
Direct witnessing of an event
Use of hearsay in court
Ignoring direct testimonies

The correct answer is: A fact to be inferred

Circumstantial evidence refers to evidence that allows a fact to be inferred based on indirect proof, rather than direct witnessing of an event. This type of evidence includes facts and circumstances presented in a case that, when considered together, can strongly imply a certain conclusion or fact. Using hearsay, which is information heard from someone else rather than from firsthand knowledge, is generally not allowed as evidence in court. Additionally, ignoring direct testimonies, which are statements made by a witness who personally observed an event, would go against the principles of fairness and impartiality in a court case.
