Answer:
Franklin’s experiments with electricity may seem dangerous and foolish today, but they resulted in the invention of the lightning rod.
Explanation:
Since the passage says that Franklin was a great thinker/scientist, a counter argument might consist of the fact that his experiments with electricity were "dangerous and foolish" because he could have electrocuted himself. This statement best addresses this counterargument. All other options simply restate or add additional information to the passage.
