A. While both sides agree that texting while driving is dangerous,

many people aren't willing to make it illegal.

Explanation:

In this example, the speaker is indicating that both sides which take part in the discussion have found a common ground, that is to say, that texting while driving is dangerous. Based on this assertion, then the counter-argument is presented, which in this case represents a rebuttal to that assertion.
