Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The physical count of securities and cash is the most objective type of evidence as it involves directly verifying the existence and amount of a tangible asset. The other options involve subjective opinions or interpretations. A letter written by an attorney and inquiries of a credit manager involve third-party opinions, and observation of cobwebs is a subjective interpretation.
