Answer:

A. You need to make your counterclaims look as weak and nonsensical as possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of an argument consists of four parts: a claim (stating facts that give rise to the claim), an answer (rebutting the claim), and a counterclaim. A counterclaim is a claim for relief that is made in response to, or in counterbalance to, the remedy sought by another party. "Reasons" refer to the justifications for a claim made by a certain party.
