His aunt bought a box of candy last year.
B
Last year, his class raised a thousand dollars by selling candy.
C
Last year, he sold more jelly beans than mints.
D
His class voted to sell candy and watermelon last year.

Explanation

The best support is evidence that selling candy successfully raised money for a class trip.
