Explanation

A claim based only on what your friends say is weak evidence because it is hearsay and may not be reliable or verifiable. Statistics from an encyclopedia, an expert’s opinion, or historical evidence can be stronger when they are relevant and trustworthy. “Citing something that your friends say” is the correct choice.
