Which subsection defines relevance as evidence making a fact more probable than it would be without the evidence?

• A. 401(a)
• B. 102
• C. 201(f)
• D. 101

Answer: (C)

Relevance is determined by whether evidence has any tendency to make a fact more probable (or less probable) than it would be without the evidence. That phrasing—“more probable than it would be without the evidence”—is the defining test for relevance. So the rule that states this standard is the one you’d point to for relevance. The other topics covered by the remaining options address different parts of the rules (such as judicial notice or general provisions about how the rules apply), but they do not define what makes evidence relevant.
