Why does minimax assume optimal opponent play?
Answer: C
Assuming the strongest reply gives a lower bound on what the player can achieve, so the move chosen is safe whatever the opponent does. Modelling a weaker opponent could score more against that opponent and worse against a better one. Ease of computation is not the argument, real opponents err constantly, and pruning is a separate technique. Choosing a criterion that is robust to the opponent's behaviour, rather than optimal against a guess about it, is a defensible conservative choice.
