Answer:

A claim made to rebut a previous claim.

Explanation:

It is basically another claim brought to oppose the claim that was previously established.

For example:

"Social media makes teenagers lazy, unresponsive, feel bad about themselves, and short-tempered."

A counter-claim to this would be: "Actually, social media can be very beneficial for teenagers as it helps them communicate better with others."
