Read the passage and answer the question.
A classmate argues, "Energy drinks should be banned for students under 16." He says energy drinks are dangerous because they contain caffeine. As evidence, he mentions that one popular brand has 200 milligrams of caffeine per can, and he adds that his cousin felt shaky after drinking one before basketball practice. He concludes that because caffeine is a stimulant and can make people feel jittery, banning energy drinks will prevent health problems for all students. He does not compare energy drinks to other caffeinated products students may already consume (like coffee or soda), and he does not provide data on how often serious health effects occur for teens.
Which choice best assesses whether the evidence is sufficient to support the claim?
