The best answer is letter B. The counterclaim shows how the opposing opinion is incorrect.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay, the author will claim a certain opinion and defend it by providing supporting evidence to it. At some point, the author will mention the opposite opinion to his own, that is, he will mention what others may claim to attack his own opinion. That is the counterclaim. Why would an author mention the opposing opinion in his essay? Because he gives himself the chance to attack it and prove it wrong. He will make his own claim stronger if he effectively explains why his opponents are mistaken in disagreeing with him. Thus, the author will be using the counterclaim to show how the opposing opinion is incorrect, as is state in letter B.
