Binh responds to Kira's argument by doing which one of the following?
suggesting that Kira has overlooked a fact that, although consistent with her premises, is in direct conflict with her conclusion
denying Kira's premises while suggesting that her conclusion, although possibly true, is highly unlikely
arguing that Kira's premises are not only inadequate to prove her conclusion but in fact point strongly toward its being false
conceding Kira's premises without denying her conclusion, while asserting that the latter does not follow from the former
observing that while Kira's premises each independently support her conclusion, the premises themselves are inconsistent with one another
