Your answer is A Evidence evidence helps you believe something like in a lawsuit have evidence that the guy was the murder and the evidence is true lock the guy up in this case if their a sentence in the novel or story as you will call it evidence about the main idea and if its true your right. Its also not C because your personal option is what you think the main idea is there is what you think the evidence is its not D because characterization is about telling a character's personality hobbies, likes, dislikes, personal stuff about the main character and when it came down to rather A, or B it is A because B its the knowledge you been teach long time ago like your old option of what you thought was the main idea or topic of the story, novel, or paragraph is.

Your answer is A.
