Answer:

She gives a rebuttal with support.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rebuttal refers to a response to an opponent's counterclaim, addressing the counterclaim and arguing why the opponent's argument is not solid, and disproving it with evidence.

In this case the following comment is a counterclaim by an opponent who disagrees with the authors original argument: "We need to encourage kids to get more exercise. New sports facilities would inspire kids to get outside more and get moving. I’m all for it. "

The author responds to the above counterclaim by providing the following rebuttal with evidence to support it: "Exercise is good, no doubt about that, but you don’t need it from sports facilities or team sports. The Sequoia Nature Preserve has miles of paths where people walk, even jog. And when kids are walking in the forest, they area also breathing cleaner air and the surroundings are peaceful—it’s a healthy environment for people to get exercise and just get away from city life.
