D. Fatty fish is a good source of protein, but it can be substituted by plant-based proteins, such as beans, seeds, and nuts.

Explanation:

The rebuttal diminishes the point from the counterclaim which is to include  little fatty  fish into a person's diet . This is backed up by an institution: The American Heart Association. The balance is between fish and a plant-based diet. The topic of healthy food is still present in the counterclaim but the rebuttal takes from the counterclain the issue of proteins, and agrees with the presence of them in a heathy diet. However, the rebuttal links proteins with plants and gives examples of the plants that have them .
