The statement describing the way something happened is called evidence. Evidence provides factual information or proof to support a claim or conclusion. It can be in the form of data, observations, or findings that help explain why or how an event occurred.
Here's why the other options are not correct:
1. A reason explains why something happened, not necessarily how it happened.
2. A claim is a statement asserting a fact or belief, but it doesn't directly describe the way something occurred.
3. A discussion involves talking about a topic, but it doesn't specifically describe the way an event unfolded.
