Question

read the claim below.
people should not keep wild animals as pets.
select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
certain states and cities have laws that allow for certain wild animals to be kept as pets.
wild animals often carry diseases that are incurable—and sometimes fatal—in humans.

Explanation:

The claim is that people should not keep wild animals as pets. The evidence "Wild animals often carry diseases that are incurable—and sometimes fatal—in humans" directly supports the claim by highlighting a significant risk (disease transmission with serious consequences) associated with keeping wild animals as pets. The other option about laws allowing certain wild animals to be kept as pets does not support the claim (it actually could be seen as a counter - point in some contexts as it implies it's allowed, but not a support for the "should not" claim).

Answer:

Wild animals often carry diseases that are incurable—and sometimes fatal—in humans.
