AP Statistics or Calculus AB for senior year?

I'm currently a junior in pre calc (math analysis regular), and my school does offer honors for pre calc but I backed out from taking it because of how hard it was going to be (it is agreed that math analysis honors is the hardest math class in my school and my school offers up to Calc BC).

I feel like everything in math analysis right now has been review from algebra 2 honors, which makes me feel like I won't have enough foundations to take Calculus AB and pass the AP exam.

I also intend to major in the business field, but not accounting or finance where it's so math heavy. However, I think calculus will still be needed in college.

Which class would be the better option, AP statistics or Calculus AB?

I would recommend you taking AP Statistics because your intended major is in the business field but at the same time if you want to challenge yourself then taking Calculus AB would the better choice.
