Hi:
I didn't choose B as I thought the word "detrimental" is very strong, and neither author explicitly expresses that. Rather, A then looks like a safe option (as I thought both passages illustrate concerns for Roma people by analyzing the issue through a legal scope). Where did my mentality go wrong?

Strong isn't wrong as long as it's supported by the passages. I also would make sure to double check if you are overindexing on one word that has strong connotations, rather than considering the phrase in its entirety. Here b is really just saying that "lack of recognition can be unfavorable to their interests." This is explicitly in both passages, and doesn't require any more emphatic strength than a dry statement of facts.
Overall I would want you to focus less on strength and weakness and more on whether it reflect what the passage said. B is supported in the facts, I don't think we can do the same for A, even though it does indeed feel weaker.
