I think C adds context, but not direct evidence.

A diagram? Seems kinda weak for direct evidence.

Really? Just being nervous isn't enough, right?

I keep second-guessing myself, but I think option D could be relevant too, since nervous behavior might imply guilt, but it doesn't directly prove the theft happened.

I feel like we had a practice question similar to this, and I think the key was focusing on what constitutes direct evidence. B seems to fit that definition best.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think options A and C are more circumstantial evidence rather than direct evidence. It's tricky to differentiate sometimes.

I remember we discussed how direct evidence usually involves firsthand accounts, so I think option B might be the right choice since it mentions a witness seeing the theft.

Option C about the defendant being the last to leave the store is interesting, but I'm not sure if that alone would be considered direct evidence. I'll have to think it through more.

I think option B, the witness testimony, would be the most direct evidence here. Seeing the defendant actually take the money seems like the strongest proof.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to re-read the question and options closely to figure out which one would be the most direct evidence.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to carefully consider the options and think about what kind of evidence would directly link the defendant to the crime.

Ah, I see now. The question is asking what specific configuration is needed on the firewalls to avoid asymmetric routing. I'm going to go with option D, source and destination address translation.

I remember something about needing senior management's approval for high-risk clients, but I’m unsure if that’s one of the options.

Haha, option D about the defendant acting nervous? That's like saying 'the suspect looked guilty, so he must be guilty!'

I'm not so sure. Option C about the defendant being the last to leave could also be pretty strong circumstantial evidence.

But what about option C) where a witness testifies that the defendant was almost always the last cashier to leave the store? That could also be a strong indication of guilt.
