What is any statement made by witnesses, under oath, in a judicial proceeding?

  1. Narration

  2. Declaration

  3. Evidence

  4. Testimony

The correct answer is: Testimony

Witness testimony is considered one of the most crucial kinds of evidence in a judicial proceeding. It is typically given under oath, meaning the witness has sworn to be truthful, and in front of a judge or jury. Therefore, the statement is a declaration based on the witness's personal knowledge, not just a narration or retelling of events. While all of the options may be involved in a judicial proceeding, testimony specifically refers to the spoken statements made by witnesses.
