Answer
# Brief Explanations:
The thesis claims alexandrite is the most beautiful gemstone. The supporting evidence is about its higher price - per - weight. Option B connects the idea of alexandrite's value (higher price) to its uniqueness, which can be related to its beauty. Option A undermines the evidence. Option C goes against the positive view of alexandrite in the thesis. Option D focuses on rubies and diamonds rather than connecting to the beauty of alexandrite.
