answer: c) counterclaim.

explanation: in the given paragraph we can see the description of an argument about the importance of the student council encouraging students to volunteer for the schoolwide food drive program. we can also see the reason that is that if the school council doesn't participate, the program will likely languish, and the evidence of the productivity of this program (the recollection of over 600 canned goods, and the students participating in a volunteer program), the element that is missing from the paragraph is a counterclaim.
