It can be proven through research.

The question asks about why is it a statement of fact. This allows you to immediately eliminate any options that are true of opinions. For example, the last option defines an opinion - a belief that may not always be true. The first option about mulitple perspectives doesn't prove fact or opinion it is just making a statement as well. Facts are statement that are known to be true. In order for them to be true, they have to be able to be proven.
