Answer :

Answer:

C. There are more stations designed for children today than there were 20 years ago.

Explanation:

A thesis is a statement that is arguable, specific, and be defendable with factual evidence.

  • A is incorrect because it is a broad, and does not present a point to defend
  • B is incorrect because it is a fact, and is therefore not arguable
  • D is incorrect because it is not specific enough to be defendable, and does not indicate a period of time to which this is applicable to (i.e. this may not always be the case if someone says this again in the future)

C is the correct option because it is specific, arguable, and can have factual evidence that can back up any point made by the writer.
