If you had to write an argumentative essay to convince an audience that teenagers should not be allowed more than 1 hour of screen-time a day, what would be an appropriate thesis statement for that essay?

A Did you know that teenagers are using technology 3x longer today than they did ten years ago?
B Teenagers should not be allowed to take cell-phones to school because they are distracting, they can be stolen, and students can cheat on exams with them. C Consequently, teenagers are not sleeping well enough because they are up late using technology.
D Teenagers should not be allowed to use techonology for more than one hour a day because it distracts them from their responsibilities, keeps them from getting the sleep they need, and encourages them to be anti-social.
