A.) a priority, principle, or belief that guides a person’s life
Answer:
The first response
Explanation:

Second: Calling the scientists' surveys unsophisticated is irrelevant and does not prove that the original claim is correct.

Fourth: This response gives up on the original idea and ends the debate, with the counterclaim winning.
