Explanation
In 'I have not seen him since Monday', 'since' is followed by the noun phrase 'Monday' (a point in time), so it functions as a preposition of time. It is a conjunction only when it joins two clauses ('since you left'). The stored key (b) is therefore wrong and is corrected to (a) Preposition.
