Is this a PSA, SA or Principle?

Is this a PSA or SA? Or is it a principle question?

"Which one of the following principles most helps to justify the mathematics teacher's argument?"

    This is psa I think, even though the word principle is confusing

    LR drill packages categorize that kind of question as PSA.

    PSA because it says "most helps to justify"

    For PSA stimuli, I always try to spot out "principle" and "most helps to justify".

    PSA!! Normally principle questions focus on subjects related to human morality/behavior. SA question stems always involve something about strengthening the conclusion, while NA never uses the word conclusion because you are to justify the argument as a whole.

    I've learned this the hard way but just because a question stem has the word principle in it doesn't mean it's a principle question stem.

    Also @btownsquee points out the best indicator for this which is the use of the word most that helps me out a ton when distinguishing PSA vs. SA, P
