My understanding:
Assuming the question wants to weaken the following argument: new process showed 15% cost reduction, compared to old performance of standard process => new process produces cost saving.
B looks like to be an answer mode that other factor (other than new process) causes the cost saving.
However, it is not the case. If it is true, then "the other factor" must have nothing to do with the new process. But, choice B indicates that the result of new process has a connection with the reduced number of rejected finished products. So, choice B is not weaken, but support that the new process has connection with the cost saving caused by reduced number of rejected finished products.
