Explanation:

In science, the term "consilience of evidence" is used when the evidence of a hypothesis or theory is consistent especially evidence from independent scientists or sources. This often implies the theory has been tested many times and by different experts and even using different methods but the results are always the same. This consilience of evidence is essential to declare a theory as valid and concluding. In this context, the option that describes the meaning of this term is C.
