The correct answer is D. Presenting counterarguments
Step-by-step explanation:
In a debate there are different stages, this includes one of the participants presenting his or her position of the main topic being discussed along with arguments, after this it is common the opposing side presents counterclaims or arguments that disprove the first position explained (counterclaim phase) and in response to these counterarguments the first participant needs to provide new counterarguments and evidence that help him/her to rebut or respond to the counterclaim. Therefore, the element that occurs in the rebuttal is that counterarguments are presented to respond to an opposite position.
