Question

Which of the following would be the best hook for a persuasive essay with the thesis below?

Thesis: We must immediately begin a worldwide education campaign focused on family planning to help reduce the world population.

Answer 1

A. There's no real way to solve the world population explosion. The fact of the matter is that we're going to continue to reproduce, and we'll probably eat, pollute, and consume ourselves right off the face of the Earth.
B. There are currently 6.5 billion people on Earth, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that number will rise to 9.2 billion by 2050. Even now, people in the world are plagued by hunger while we choke on our own pollution and destroy every last bit of untouched nature. This pattern cannot be allowed to continue unchecked, and indeed, there are several proposed solutions.
C. We must immediately begin a worldwide education campaign focused on family planning to help reduce the world population. There are too many people in the world, and I can't take it any longer.
D. In some nations birthrates are high, and populations are increasing. In other nations birthrates are low, and populations are decreasing or staying at current levels. In truth, there's no real way to solve the world population explosion. The fact of the matter is that we're going to continue to reproduce, and we'll probably eat, pollute, and consume ourselves right off the face of the Earth.
