Comments

let us suppose in exam i cancelled out C and D can not be the answer

but can not differentiated  in A and B

what  should i do in exam should i guess one of two or leave it ( when i have cancelled 2 option already )

@Gurdeep Saini well "meaning of a subject" in this context is quite meaningless thus a option is better.

@tushar bhatt

@Gurdeep Saini i was specific to this question

in general you should avoid unless you are sure that a negative wont undermine the rank much :)
