questions about dropping or taking 4th subject

hi, I am currently on YR 12 but it has ended this year and waiting for my YR13.
My subject options were Math, Further math, Physics, economics.
MAth - A* FM- A Econ- A Physics -B
This was my predicted grade which I think is solid. However, as you guys can see I have a B in physics so I have two choices. work hard and take the retest to improve my predicted grade or just drop it and focus on 3 subjects. however, I heard from people that universities like the 4 subjects option as it shows that I have covered a vast area of subjects and it has some kind of advantage.

In this siatuion is it better to study hard and get predicted grade A for physics or I just drop it and focus on improving my predicted grades for eocnmics and further maths to A*.

( that predicted grade is my first predicted grade which means it can be changed depending on my performance in the Michaelmas term of YR13)

My goal universities are LSE finance or economics at the moment.

Need some honest answer guys.

You should refer to LSE finance and economics department about their entry requirements. You should excel in Maths for finance and economics, and further maths is highly likely a requirement. So you are better off studying hard and getting an A* for FMaths
