    The term "hearsay" refers to an out-of-court statement made by someone other than the witness reporting.

    Option b

    Explanation:

    As per the Federal Rule of Evidence 801 (d) (2) (a) evidence is admissible only it is inculpatory. The exculpatory statements collected by the investigator are hearsay and it is not taken as evidence.

    Here the term hearsay is defined as proof or documents citing people who are not present in the court. According the law heresy will not take it as evidence because it lacks the first hand witness. While cross examining the person, who as quoted the statement if he is not available then ascertaining the credibility becomes very difficult.
