Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A sound argument is one that not only has true premises but also passes the Test of Logical Strength, meaning that the conclusion logically follows from the premises. A relevant argument is one where the premises are related to the conclusion, but it may not necessarily be true or logically strong. A worthy or persuasive argument may be convincing but does not necessarily have to be true or logically strong.
