Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if you pick A then the author could have said "you tube is bad for your health" then just move on to talking about how oranges are healthy for you because if you read it it said "regardless of the evidence" and of you pick B i cant really explain but if you think the author did a bad job on supporting it then sure you can do this but since this is a quiz its less likely the answer. C is just what you are doing you are seeing of the evidence is enough to get you to believe what he or she is saying if you pick D then you think that the author should have looked up more about their claim or they should have said (example) "i think anime is overrated i don't hate it i just don't get whats all the hype about it" instead of "i don't get why people like anime so much its overrated" but if anyone said that i would simply disagree.
