Many people claim that cell phones are unsafe and that the damage they cause has yet to be revealed, but the benefits they provide far outweigh any potential and unproven risks. Which best addresses a potential counterclaim? Certain types of cancers take twenty to thirty years to develop, and cell phone studies have only been monitoring this potential connection for ten years or less. On April 3, 1973, the first mobile telephone call was made by Martin Cooper, who is now referred to and known as “the father of the cell phone.” The portability of cell phones increases personal safety by affording people an easier and faster way to call for help in the event of a serious or life-threatening emergency. According to the Federal Communications Commission and the Food and Drug Administration, cell phone use has not been linked to an increased risk of brain tumors.

A). Certain types of cancers take twenty to thirty years to develop, and cell phone studies have only been monitoring this potential connection for ten years or less.

Explanation:

Counterclaims are described as the claims that oppose or negate the prior claim or argument made by the author.

In this question, the first option would serve as the potential counterclaim for the given argument as it negates the author's claim that 'the damage caused by the phones are yet to be revealed' by stating a reasonable counterclaim 'cell phone studies have only been monitoring the potential connection of cell phones with the development of cancers that take time(twenty to thirty years) for ten years.' This counterclaim directly denies the author's central argument and questions its validity. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
