Always using short, choppy sentences would NOT improve the rhythm of prose. Option B is correct.

Rhythm is a typical characteristic of poetry. Prose may be said to exhibit rhythm but in a much less highly organized sense.

In writing, rhythm is developed by punctuation and the stress patterns of words in a sentence. Long sentences sound smoother, while short sentences make your content snappier.
