can some one please help me

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is a frequent source of controversy in public debates, says that "a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The controversy stems from the fact that some Americans feel that the Second Amendment guarantees all citizens the absolute right to own firearms, while others believe that some restrictions on gun ownership are consistent with the Second Amendment.

Which phrase from this passage demonstrates that the author is identifying a source of debate?

a"shall not be infringed."
b"the Second Amendment guarantees"
c"The controversy stems from"
d"consistent with the Second Amendment."

The phrase from this passage which demonstrates that the author is identifying a source of debate is C. "the controversy stems from..."
To stem from something means to originate from, so this would be the logical answer.

The third alternative is correct (C).

A debate is composed of at least two different types of opinions. When the author uses the expression "The controversy stems from," he is introducing a subject that does not have general agreement, that is, it is a subject that divides opinions and generates debate. In this case the controversy concerns the interpretation of the Second Edition of the American Constitution on the possession of the firearm. Some find that Second Level restricts the possession of weapons while others feel it does not restrict.
