“In an age of near-instantaneous fact checking,” politicians need to be careful about what they say, “as” (which means “because” here) “any fictitious claim” will be proved fictitious or false. “Bogus” (not genuine) is an excellent match. “Genuine” is a reversal trap. “Dull” in this context means boring, which, although negative, is not the desired meaning. Neither “unnecessary” nor “unfamiliar” fit the desired meaning either.
Answer: B
