In Some Instances, Evidence Is Offered Not for Its Assertive

In some instances, evidence is offered not for its assertive or testimonial use, but to show the state of mind of the person making such a statement. Such statements are:

A) designated as nontestimonial utterances.
B) inadmissible as in violation of the hearsay rule.
C) admissible to show not only that the words were spoken but also as proof of the truth of what was said.
D) admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule because they are spontaneous exclamations.
