Explanation:

To determine why determining truth is sometimes difficult, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Facts can be debated (e.g., historical interpretations or scientific theories under revision), so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Statements may lack evidence or supporting details, making it hard to verify if they are true. This aligns with the challenge of determining truth.
• Option C: Opinions can change, but they are not "always factual"—opinions are subjective, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Truth often requires verification (e.g., in science or history), so claiming it "needs no verification" is wrong.

Answer:

B. Statements may lack evidence or supporting details.
