1 an announcement: This is not the best choice. An "announcement" is a "declaration" or "statement": these terms do not share a similar meaning with "proof".
1 a decision: This is not the best choice. When we make a "decision", we make a "choice". These terms do not share a similar meaning with "proof".
2 something you have bought: This is the best option here. When we "make a purchase", we "buy something". The term "to purchase" is more formal than "to buy", and it is often used in a business context. "Proof of purchase" is evidence that you have bought something.
2 something you need: This is not a good definition of "purchase".
2 something you plan to do: This is not a good definition of "purchase".
3 receipt: "Receipt" is the best choice here. A "receipt" is a little piece of paper which you receive when you buy something, for example in a shop. We usually need the receipt if we want to return an item to a shop. At work, we need to show receipts if we want our expenses to be reimbursed.

3 signature: A "signature" is an "autograph" or a "signed name". It is not the right answer here.
