A witness who is giving testimony is giving what type of evidence

  1. Direct

  2. Trace

  3. Similar fact

  4. Circumstantial

The correct answer is: Direct

When a witness gives testimony, they are providing direct evidence. Direct evidence is evidence that directly proves a fact, without needing to make an inference or presumption. This type of evidence usually comes from a person who has personally experienced or witnessed an event and is able to testify about it. In the context of this question, when a witness gives oral evidence of what they saw, heard, or experienced, it is considered as direct evidence because it directly relates to the facts in question. This could include descriptions of events, individuals involved, time frames, or any other significant details.
