B Correct answer
Explanation

'Specious' means appearing true or valid but actually false: deceptive, misleading, or superficially plausible. 'Flawed' captures this sense, something that seems correct but has hidden defects making it wrong. 'Genuine' (D) is a good antonym but the question asks for SYNONYMS. 'Suspect' (A) is related but less precise; 'positive' (C) is unrelated.
