Which statement best describes the body paragraphs of an argumentative essay?

Body paragraphs develop and support the essay’s argument. They present reasons and research evidence, and may address counterclaims to show how opposing views compare. Introducing the topic and stating the writer’s position are typically done in the introduction, while tying ideas together and explaining the takeaway are jobs of the conclusion. Therefore, the best description is that body paragraphs flesh out the argument and include counterclaims and research evidence.
