Consider the "Ticking-Bomb" Scenario, Which Is Used to Justify Using

Consider the "ticking-bomb" scenario, which is used to justify using torture to fight terrorism. Some who are opposed to torture believe that ticking-bomb scenarios are too contrived to be taken seriously; such states of affairs simply don't happen in the real world. A plausible counterargument to this position is that

A) ticking-bomb situations happen all the time.
B) ticking-bomb situations have often been depicted in movies and TV series.
C) in light of what we know about the upbringing of many convicted terrorists, we have good reasons to believe that ticking-bomb situations are possible.
D) in light of what we know about terrorist tactics and aims (and about police cases that resemble ticking-bomb scenarios) , we have good reasons to believe that ticking-bomb situations are possible.
