A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'cast doubt' is a fixed expression meaning to cause uncertainty or skepticism about something. When new evidence casts doubt on a conviction, it creates reasons to question its validity. The other verbs (carved, catered, captivated, challenged) don't form this specific idiomatic expression.
