Question

Which of the following best demonstrates a well-structured body paragraph in an argument essay?

Example:
Despite the fact that social media provides a platform for global communication, it is also linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. A study by the National Institute of Mental Health found that teenagers who spend more than three hours per day on social media are at a higher risk of developing these conditions. Moreover, social media encourages unhealthy comparisons, as users often only post highlights of their lives, creating unrealistic standards. These factors contribute to a growing concern over the mental health impact of social media usage, which outweighs the benefits of online connection.

Options

A
    Starts by acknowledging the counterargument, then refutes it with examples, and concludes with a call to action.
B
    Presents one idea at a time without fully developing any of them, ending abruptly with a personal anecdote.
C
    Clearly introduces the main point, provides evidence (study), and explains how it supports the thesis, ending with a transition to the next point.
D
    Focuses solely on personal experience and avoids incorporating research or studies.
