Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
The answer is option D or "the writer's main point or thesis." A claim is the writers main point in a argumentative essay. You can find claims usually in the introductory paragraph along with the thesis statement which is the reasons for your claim, and then throughout the essay you will write and explain those reasons on top of statistics you find throughout the information given to you and then in the final paragraph is where you write your counterclaim. A counterclaim is the opposite of your claim, so stating a reason why the other side may be correct but still protecting your claim.
