Simple choice, pick whichever you like the best and think you will perform the best in, all one of these subjects would count for is an A, you can't really take them AH. I was in a similar position to you, deciding between history and pe, but decided on history after hearing horror stories from the years above about how no one passed the prelim and not many got an A in the final exams(maybe because they were dumb I don't know but still 😂).
Best of luck!

I'd probably say drop business as a lot of writing is needed, so put that out to keep some rest, and also id drop admin due to higher having theory which u need to memorize, so less tension if u do drop it, whereas they r all easy in their own ways so pick whatever think u will get an A in.
