I talked to my professor and they said that it can be disproven using an example, specifically using a picture to explain why it statement is false. Can anyone help me out?

Assuming the version that lives in $(-\pi , \pi]$, "Arg" tells you how far you are from the positive real axis, angle-wise. The product of two complex numbers can be much closer than the factors originally were. Try drawing a unit circle.
