Which of the following is an example of a thesis statement?

I am writing about the importance of climate change
Climate change is an important topic
Research shows that climate change is the greatest challenge facing our society today
We need to take steps to address climate change

The correct answer is: Research shows that climate change is the greatest challenge facing our society today

A and B are not examples of thesis statements because they do not make a specific claim or argument. They are simply stating the topic without taking a stance. D could potentially be a thesis statement, but it is still not as strong as C. It lacks the specific and definitive language of a thesis statement. C, on the other hand, makes a clear claim and provides evidence to support it. It states that climate change is the greatest challenge facing our society, and this claim can be supported through research. That is what makes it a strong example of a thesis statement.
