B. A sound generalization considers more factors than an

oversimplification

Explanation:

Generalization is the expansion of the boundaries of a pattern found in a small piece of reality. Simplification is the omission of details that are not essential to achieve the goal.

When generalizing, concepts of a higher order are introduced while the 'power' of description does not drop.

In simplification, exactly what happens is the loss of detail, and nothing more.
