An argumentative essay is illustrated as an essay argument that focuses on both sides of the coin(issue or topic). Such an essay requires meticulous research and evaluation in order to present an argument brief and succinct manner with counterclaims and sufficient evidences to establish the credibility of the claim and efficiently convey the intended message or idea to the audience.
As per the question, the topic that would prompt an argumentative essay would be 'A case for gender equity in the workplace' as it would nurture a healthy argument due to inclusion of arguments from both sides(in favor and against) and the author's opinion or point of view as a conclusion. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the answer as the other topics would present a single-sided view.
