Which category includes contracts and letters used as evidence?

• A. Testimonial
• B. Documentary
• C. Physical
• D. Digital

Answer: (B)

Documentary evidence refers to writings that prove facts in a case. Contracts and letters fit this category because they are written records that establish terms, obligations, or communications between parties. They can be authenticated and admitted to show what was agreed or conveyed. This is different from testimonial evidence, which is what a person says orally under oath, and from physical evidence, which is a tangible object. Digital evidence covers electronic data, but when the evidence is a written document like a contract or a letter, it fits most naturally into documentary evidence.
