A). The gaming platforms cause people  become overly engaged.

Explanation:

A counterargument is characterized as the argument or claim that functions to deny or oppose the previous claim. It allows the author to present both the sides of the argument and offer an objective representation to the readers.

The given argument offers the positive aspect of 'computer and video games' by informing the readers how 'they act to fulfill genuine human needs.' The most effective counterclaim to this claim can be 'the gaming platforms are causing people to become overly engaged' which is not allwoing them to focus on the important aspects of their life and damaging their health(physical and mental both) as well. This not only denies the prior claim but gives a different outlook(other than the author has given previously) to the readers to view gaming platforms. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
