When evaluating the evidence presented in a GMAT AWA argument, which characteristic makes the evidence *least* compelling?

A The evidence is based on recent, peer-reviewed scientific studies.
B The evidence is drawn from a small, unrepresentative sample.
C The evidence directly supports the argument's main conclusion.
D The evidence is statistical data from a reputable source.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Evidence from a small, unrepresentative sample is inherently weak because it cannot reliably generalize to the broader population, making it less compelling than other options.
