Exhibit concept is best described as what?

• A. A document or thing admitted for proving a fact
• B. A witness's address
• C. A court ruling
• D. A police report

Answer: (A)

An exhibit is a document or tangible item that is formally admitted into evidence to prove a fact at a hearing or trial. Exhibits become part of the court record and must be authenticated or properly identified before they can be admitted. They can be contracts, photographs, physical objects, copies of records, or other relevant items offered to establish something about the case. The emphasis is on the item itself and its role in proving a point, not on the act of ruling or on who owns it. A witness’s address is not evidence, a court ruling is a decision, and a police report could be admitted as an exhibit but isn’t what an exhibit is by definition.
