    The correct answer is C. It makes the argument balanced and show why the original claim is stronger.

    Explanation:

    An argument is a reason or set of reasons that support a position about some issue or situation that mainly through statements or evidence that prove the argument is valid and true, this means an argument aims at convincing the audience about some specific position. On the hand, a counterclaim is a statement that rebuts or shows what is claimed in the main argument is not true. Both the argument and the counterclaim or counterargument are part of argumentative processes and it is recommended to present a counterclaim or counterargument of the argument you are trying to show, the purpose of this is to show to the reader there are different positions and reasons to the ones you are trying to show, but despite this, the evidence, statements, and reasons you are providing are stronger than those of the counterclaim. In this way, you make the argument balanced by showing different position or reasons but still show your argument is true and stronger than the counterclaim.
