The correct answer is "unless".

Key Points

  • Let us explore the given options:
    • The adverb 'still' means even now (or then) as formerly.
    • The adverb 'whenever' means at whatever time; on whatever occasion.
    • The conjunction 'unless' means except if (used to introduce the case in which a statement being made is not true or valid).
    • The adverb 'otherwise' means in circumstances different from those present or considered; or else.
       

Hence the complete sentence is: The police will regard it as an accident unless any evidence to the contrary is found.

Additional Information

  • Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together.
