The answer is actually C
Answered by Writeacher
Really!

Well, then, the answer could be all of the four!! All four need to have evidence supporting whatever the main idea is ... but I guess the big clue in that question is the word "claim."
Answered by phia
An argumentative paper makes a claim about some topic or other and then justifies that claim with facts, research results, or other kinds of evidence. As the authors write, “The claim can be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation” (Tardiff & Brizee, 2013).

It is C, right?
