Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: In "An Indian Father’s Plea", Lake describes his son's mathematical background (e.g., understanding of complex spatial and numerical concepts from his cultural upbringing) to show he is good at math. This aligns with providing evidence about the son's math - related background.
• Option B: Explaining cultural disadvantage does not directly support the claim that the son is good at math.
• Option C: The son's background is different from the teacher's (the teacher is from a Western educational background, the son from a Native American cultural - mathematical background), so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Lake does not present European math statistics to support his son's math ability.

Answer:

A. He describes his son's rare mathematical background.
