The sentence that serves as an opposing claim to the argument "Disposable plastic bags should not be used because they are dangerous to wildlife" is:

"Disposable plastic bags save human lives by preventing disease."

This statement presents a counterargument by suggesting a benefit of disposable plastic bags that weighs against the claim about their danger to wildlife. The other options do not directly oppose the argument concerning wildlife and instead focus on other aspects of environmental or human behavior.
