those who text while driving should not have their license taken away. these critics insist that texting and driving is not a valid reason for drivers to lose their license.
taking away a texters license for a year is too severe a punishment. these critics point out that those who dont live near public transportation might lose their jobs or miss school because they couldnt drive.

Explanation:

The task is to build a coherent opposing argument to the thesis by selecting two logical segments. The second segment provides a clear, specific critique of the punishment's severity and links it to real-life hardships (job loss, missed school) that align with the opening "Critics object that" framing, making it the appropriate choice.
