The best answer would be the 3rd statement, 'Data showing the average costs of uniforms in schools that already have uniform policies'. This answer provides sufficient evidence to support the counterclaim of the author that uniforms are too costly to impose as a requirement on all families because it provides figures and directly relates to the premise.
