To evaluate the theory that the building was a temple to the God Luga, we need to select one piece of evidence that would strongly support this hypothesis and one piece of evidence that would strongly refute it.
Strongest evidence For the theory:
Fish were given as offerings almost exclusively to the God Luga.
This piece of evidence would strongly support the theory because it directly links the specific type of offering found (burnt remains of fish) to the God Luga, thereby providing a direct connection between the building and the deity.
Strongest evidence Against the hypothesis:
Ancient Mesopotamian temples built in cities were almost always built in the “citadel”.
This piece of evidence would strongly refute the theory because it contradicts the location of the building. If ancient Mesopotamian temples were typically located in the “citadel” area, the fact that this building is in the “low town” area would suggest it is unlikely to be a temple.
Thus, the selections are:
For: Fish were given as offerings almost exclusively to the God Luga.
Against: Ancient Mesopotamian temples built in cities were almost always built in the “citadel”.

(1) Buildings were rarely constructed with mud bricks in ancient Mesopotamia.
Explanation: All this does is try to weaken the argument that the building was even Mesopotamian.
(2) Ancient Mesopotamian temples built in cities were almost always built in the “citadel”.
Explanation: These rightly weakens the hypothesis of the building being a temple to God Luga. This is correct for being against the hypothesis.
(3) Some Mesopotamian buildings outside the “citadel” were also heavily fortified.
Explanation: This statement is essential out of scope.
(4) The altar was made of stone not commonly found in the region.
Explanation: This only slightly weakens the hypothesis, but is primarily out of scope.
(5) Fish were given as offerings almost exclusively to the God Luga.
Explanation: This provides strong evidence for the building being a temple to God Luga. This is correct for speaking for the hypothesis.

Building were fatally constructed with mud bricks in ancient Mesopotamia. - It is an objection to the building being built in ancrient Mesopotamia.
Ancient Mesopotamian temples built in cities were almost always built in the “citadel". -This is the strongest evidence against the hypothesis. According to this statement, the building is unlikely to be a temple.
Some Mesopotamian buildings outside the “citadel” were also heavily fortified. - Irrelevant
The altar was made of stone not commonly found in the region. - This simply suggests that the material could be transported from elsewhere. Irreleevant.
Fish were given as offerings almost exclusively to the God Luga. - The strongest evidence for the hypothesis. This supports the claim that the temple is precisely that of the God Luga.
