Option A,

Explanation:

The argument is weak. Arguments are always established with multiple facts, and this facts produces different opinions.

Looking at the two statements, there is only one fact talked about in the statement, which is "Sunrise", and it is said that it rises in Nashville every morning, it is not tied to anything else that would raise another fact, so there is only one fact, which cant establish an argument.

So therefore, the argument, (i. e if there is any), is weak because there is only one specific case established.
