  1. paucity - scarcity
  2. propensity - tendency
  3. preponderance - the quality or fact of being greater in number, quantity, or importance.
  4. accuracy - correctness
  • plaintiff means a person who brings a case against another in a court of law.

"_________ of evidence was on the side of the plaintiff since all but one witness testified that his story was correct."

So, here it means that the "plaintiff" brought a case to the court and all but one witness supported him and so he has "plenty of evidence" in support. 

Correct option: C
