Correct choices:
- a viewpoint on the topic
- the topic of the argument
- the major reasons supporting the topic

A strong claim (thesis) clearly states the topic, takes a clear stance on it, and often hints at the main reasons that will be developed. It should not be an unfairly biased rant (unsupported bias) nor a detailed rebuttal — counterarguments and rebuttals belong elsewhere in the essay.
