The correct answer is B. Overgeneralization

Explanation:

In writing and speaking, overgeneralization occurs when someone mistakenly assumes a situation is always true or always occur in the same way, because of this overgeneralization is a type of fallacy and does not represent a fact and should not be used as evidence. Also, this can be identified by the use of words such as all, never, always, no one, etc that show the speaker or writer has assumed something as true. This is the case of the statement "All knights lived turbulent lives and eventually died never knowing any type of peace" because it has been assumed "all knights" lived and died in a certain way as this might not be true as not all knights have the same life. Therefore, this statement is a clear example of overgeneralization.
