connects the claim and the topic sentence.
adds evidence to support the topic sentence.
connects the evidence and the topic sentence.
adds a counterclaim to support the topic sentence.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay's body paragraph, the final sentence (concluding sentence) should connect the evidence presented to the topic sentence (and the overall claim) to show how the evidence supports the topic. Option A: Connecting claim and topic sentence is not the role of the final sentence of a body paragraph (that's more for the paragraph's relation to the essay's claim). Option B: Evidence is added earlier, not in the final sentence. Option D: A counterclaim isn't used to support the topic sentence in the final sentence of a body paragraph. So the correct option is the one about connecting evidence and topic sentence.

Answer:

C. connects the evidence and the topic sentence.
