The correct answer is A. it is a fact because it can be proved using objective evidence. Facts can be called facts only if they are objective, and only if there is enough evidence to prove them. Opinions are subjective, and you don't have to provide evidence, because it's your personal opinion - you don't have to prove it to anyone.
