C. that the claim is debatable
D. that the claim is generally accepted as true

C. that the claim is debatable

A strong essay claim should be debatable, meaning it presents a point of view that can be challenged and is not universally accepted. This allows for the exploration of arguments, evidence, and counterarguments within the essay.
