I think that one of the important aspects of the supplementary essay is to show a part of yourself that is not shown throughout the other parts of the application. If you have something important about yourself that you want to tell the admissions officers (and it is not covered in the common application essay), option A might be better. If you think your analytical skills are of a high quality, and you want to emphasize it, go for option B. But at the end, you should choose the option that you think shows a deeper, more significant something about you as a person that cannot be explained by numbers and class ranks. :)
