Answer:

d. Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information

Explanation:

When we take the title of the speech into consideration - "Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected" - the best option of a thesis statement seems to be letter d. A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences with the purpose of informing the reader about the author's opinion and the subject of what will be read, as well as guide the author so that they won't lose focus.

Letter a would be a good option if it didn't mention "genetic information". That topic takes a very specific detour away from the subject of privacy. They can be related, but that is not what we expect after reading the title.

Letter b is not a statement at all. The question asked has the intention of making the reader curious, but does not state the author's opinion.

Letter c is not a thesis statement due to its length. It already develops the argument, which should be done in the speech or essay's body.

That leaves us with letter d. It's a one-sentence statement in which we find the author's opinion and which gives us an idea of what will be developed in the speech or essay.

Answer:

The correct answer was C.
