The evidence given by a witness under oath which does not include evidence from documents and other physical evidence is known as?

• A. Testimony
• B. Affidavit
• C. Deposition
• D. Hearsay

Answer: (A)

Testimony is the spoken evidence a witness gives under oath, describing what they observed or know. It is oral and does not involve documents or physical objects. A deposition is sworn out-of-court oral testimony, and an affidavit is a written sworn statement, both distinct from the general concept of oral testimony. Hearsay refers to the admissibility issue of statements made outside the current proceeding, not to the form of evidence itself. So the description matches testimony—the verbal, sworn statements of a witness without documentary or physical evidence.
