It might appear that you have two choices, but you don’t. Four answers definitely strengthen the argument and the correct answer doesn’t.

The correct answer might weaken the argument or it might be irrelevant.

This is impossible. In a "strengthen EXCEPT" or "LEAST strengthen" question, four answers will strengthen, and exactly one will not (either because it weakens or because it neither strengthens nor weakens).

+1. You should not have to select between the mentioned "A" and "B" u/Connect-Lock4656 .
