B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct spelling is 'argument.' In English, when adding the suffix '-ment' to words ending in a silent 'e' after a consonant+u combination, the 'e' is dropped. So 'argue' becomes 'argument,' not 'arguement.' This follows the same pattern as 'true' becoming 'truth.'
