Admissible evidence is thus that which is:

relevant

not excluded by any rule of law or practice

either (A) or (B)

both (A) and (B)

Explanation:

- Relevant evidence: This means the evidence should be directly connected and related to the case or facts being adjudicated. If evidence does not meet this standard, it cannot be considered admissible.

- Not excluded by any rule of law or practice: There are legal restrictions and established practices that might disqualify certain evidence, even if it's relevant. For example, hearsay or privileged communication might be excluded by rule.

Option 1: Relevant. This alone might not guarantee admissibility as it could still be excluded by a rule.

Option 2: Not excluded by any rule. Again, it must also be relevant.

Option 3: Either (A) or (B). Both conditions are necessary, not just one.

Option 4: Both (A) and (B). Evidence must be relevant and not excluded by any rule.
