the lincoln park zoo is cheaper to visit than the san diego zoo.
the lincoln park zoo has critically endangered black eastern rhinoceroses.
the san diego zoo has over twice as many species as the lincoln park zoo.

Explanation:

A counterclaim to the claim that Lincoln Park Zoo is the best place to see exotic animals should present a reason why another place might be better. The first option compares costs, not the quality of seeing exotic animals. The second option supports Lincoln Park Zoo. The third option shows San Diego Zoo has more species, implying it might be a better place to see exotic animals, countering the original claim.

The San Diego Zoo has over twice as many species as the Lincoln Park Zoo.
