The general belief among people is that in a fight for survival the stronger entity will always win over seemingly weaker entity. In a fight between man and tiger, most people would bet on the tiger. Such prediction, while true in the short term, has not panned out in the long term. Historically, the weaker entity has out-innovated the stronger entity in the long term, compensating for its weakness. The same is seen in the triumph of man over tiger in which man invented weapons to defeat the tiger, almost wiping it out from the face of the planet.

C. The first is an instance of a belief that is refuted in the argument, the second is an instance provided to support a competing belief.

From our pre-think at a glance, the first bold-face is an example...and the second bold face is refuting that example with another example. The main argument is that "general belief" is incorrect in the long-term. Now let's look at the choices:
A. The first is an opinion that is refuted in the argument; the second is an opinion that the argument believes will be true.
Not an opinion. It's an example. The second half is false because the passage states that "man....defeat[ed] tiger", which is definitive given the result of "wiping it out."
B. The first is an example provided to increase the belief in a strategy; the second is competing strategy that refutes that example
The first IS an example, so we're good there. Does it help us increase the belief in the strategy? OK, what is the strategy...? Not relevant. It's still just an example!
C. The first is an instance of a belief that is refuted in the argument, the second is an instance provided to support a competing belief.
Perfect! Matches our pre-think best so far.
D. The first is evidence whose accuracy is disputed in the argument; the second is another evidence that disputes the first.
Not evidence for either statement.
E. The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the author expresses reservations about; the second is a competing position that the author agrees with.
Not evidence! Not a competing position either!
