Answer:

c) a statement adressing an opposing opinion

Step-by-step explanation:

A counterclaim is the argument (or one of the arguments) opposing your thesis statement. In your thesis paragraph, you make it clear to the reader exactly what you plan on proving and how you plan to go about proving it.
