In analogical problem solving, the target problem is the one that needs to be solved or completed. The source problem is the one that serves as the analogy to help solve the target problem. Typically, the target problem is harder to solve than the source problem because if it were easy, there would be no need to use an analogy to help solve it. Therefore, the target problem has higher difficulty than the source problem. Thus, the correct answer is B, as it correctly identifies the higher difficulty problem as the target problem.
