What did the Warren Commission conclude about the Kennedy assassination?

There had been a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy.

Both Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby had acted alone.

The main idea here is what the Warren Commission concluded about Kennedy’s assassination. The strongest finding they reported was that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy, and that Jack Ruby acted alone in killing Oswald, with no credible evidence of a broader conspiracy involving others. They analyzed the available evidence—ballistics, eyewitnesses, and timelines—and concluded there wasn’t support for a plot by others, whether domestic or international. That’s why this option fits best: it captures the Commission’s explicit stance that both Oswald and Ruby acted on their own, and that there wasn’t a conspiracy driving the events. The other choices imply a conspiracy, a foreign plot, or an unsettled evidentiary question, which the Commission did not affirm.

The assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald was a Communist plot.

There was not enough evidence to determine the facts underlying the assassination.
