Which term refers to guidelines governing admissibility of evidence?

• A. Hearsay Rule
• B. Information Validity
• C. Rules of Evidence
• D. Media Influence

Answer: (C)

The main idea is understanding the formal guidelines that determine what evidence a court may accept. These guidelines are the Rules of Evidence, which set standards for relevance, reliability, authentication, and procedure, and they cover what can be admitted, what must be excluded, and how evidence is challenged in court. The hearsay rule is one specific provision within those broader guidelines, but it doesn’t encompass all admissibility rules. Information validity isn't a formal term for admissibility, and media influence relates to external factors rather than the official rules governing evidence. So the best term for guidelines governing admissibility is the Rules of Evidence.
