B Correct answer
Explanation

If serial execution completes in less than 50% of the window time, parallelism should NOT be considered because the operation is already fast enough. Parallelism adds overhead and complexity - it's only worthwhile when operations are slow. The statement claims it SHOULD be considered, which is wrong.
