A witness who testifies as to the habits and reputation of another person is giving what type of evidence

Circumstantial evidence
Character evidence
Trace evidence
Conscripted evidence

The correct answer is: Character evidence

Character evidence is the type of evidence that describes a person's traits, habits, or reputation in order to demonstrate their likely conduct. When a witness testifies about the habits and reputation of another person, they are offering character evidence. They may be doing this to establish the likelihood of the individual behaving in a certain way, which is often used in court cases to infer that the person has acted in accordance with their character at the time of the alleged incident. This can be used to support or challenge the allegations against them. Therefore, when a witness is describing a person's habits and reputation, they are providing character evidence.
