Explanation

This question is aiming at the practice in law enforcement that claims "if it is not recorded...". All four statements reflect an outcome of not recording something -- however, from a legal perspective, the fact that an event, agreement or undertaking hasn't been recorded does not necessarily mean that the event did not occur or the agreement was never forged or the undertaking never occurred. It may be more difficult to proved without record or strcmps a protocol a paper trail, but it does not establish that preclusion that the event, agreement or undertaking hasn't been executed at all. Therefore, the statement that correctly completes the sentence in this context is "There's no proof of anything".
