Adisproves ... did not
Bsupported ... also
Ccontradicted ... fortunately
Dreinforced ... did
Edid not disprove ... did
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. disproves ... did not
The 'but' signals contrast. The evidence didn't dismiss the prosecution but did expose a problem. 'Did not disprove' (positive for prosecution) + 'did raise questions' (negative implication) creates the right tension. Note: option E presented as 5th option.
