Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The idiom is 'Let's not split hairs,' meaning to avoid making unnecessarily fine or trivial distinctions/arguments. The phrase comes from the idea of dividing a single hair into smaller pieces - an exercise in extreme precision that serves no practical purpose.
