What flaw in the passage needs to be corrected?
The counter does not give specific evidence to oppose the counterargument.
The counter does not focus on the same topic as the counterargument.
The counterargument should begin with a better introductory word or phrase.
The counterargument should come after the counter.

The flaw that needs to be corrected in the passage is:

A. The counter does not give specific evidence to oppose the counterargument.

Explanation:

The counterargument is that student athletes do not need to take physical-education classes because they already practice a lot. The counter must address that, giving specific evidence to oppose it. Take a look at the counter:

"on the other hand, they should have to take physical education classes."

Why? We are left unanswered. There is no evidence whatsoever, no explanation as to why they should attend those classes. That is the flaw that needs to be corrected. The writer needs to provide evidence for this counter in order to oppose the counterargument.

the second option.is correct

specific audience will understand the main ideas. for example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.
