The author's strongest support for their statement is the reference to a major claim (Option B). In it, the author alludes to the strongest and clearest declaration that agrees with their statement by quoting the authors of Suburban Nation.

Therefore, by logic and by elimination, we can conclude that this is an example of a reference to a major claim.
