The correct answer is C. By changing “aren’t” to “are not” and “they’re” to “they are”

Explanation:

The text presented in the passage and divided into seven sentences discusses the position of someone regarding the use of paper textbooks compared to the use of computer tablets in school contexts. For doing this the author first presents the main claim, provides a reason for replacing textbooks for tablets, support this reason with evidence from the Federal Communications Commission, explains the counterclaims or the opinions of the opposition and uses reasons and evidence to rebut this opinions and emphasize its own position.

In the case of sentence 4. "Opponents argue that tablets aren’t a good choice because initially, they’re very expensive" this sentence introduces the counterarguments by the opponents that led to more reasons and evidence from the author. This specific sentence is key for the development of the argument and place in the correct section of the text. However, the use of contractions in this sentence is inadequate as this is a formal text as in formal writing contractions or colloquial words should be avoided because these are part of speech and informal contexts. This means the writer needs to revise sentence 4 and change "aren't" to "are not" and "they're" to "they are" in this way the information provided in the sentence is not changed but the formal style is kept during the whole text.
