B Correct answer
Explanation

'Valid' means legally or officially binding and acceptable, often backed by authority. 'Supported by authority' captures this meaning perfectly - valid documents, contracts, and arguments are those recognized by proper authority. 'Frank' means honest/direct (different meaning). 'Merciful' means showing compassion (unrelated). 'Weak' is an antonym of what valid implies.
