A. Argument is incorrect

Explanation:

In "Common Sense," Paine argues that the argument that the colonies will continue to flourish under British rule is incorrect. In fact, he believes this to be completely false. Paine argues that the colonies have not benefitted from British rule, and that, in fact, they would have done much better on their own. He also argues that the colonies should be interested in independence only, as this is most likely the best path for them to follow.
