C
“Wow! Where did you find that unbelievable information?”
D
“I can understand your feelings, but my research shows that . . .”

Effective classroom speaking respects others while clearly supporting a point with evidence. “I can understand your feelings, but my research shows that . . .” acknowledges the other person and introduces research; the other phrases sound overly absolute, confrontational, or sarcastic.
