False (B)
According to premise-conclusion asymmetry, a single-premise argument is viewed as stronger if the more typical member of an inferred superordinate category is used in the premise rather than in the conclusion.

The similarity-coverage model by Osherson et al. (1990) suggests that individuals do not automatically compute similarity when there is a great deal of overlap between the features of the premise and conclusion categories.
