Answer: A) It draws a conclusion about a population based on a small sample.

Explanation: A flawed reasoning is when we make a conclusion that is wrong because the reasoning that led us to that conclusion, was wrong too. In the given example, the reasoning is flawed because Barbara Kingsolver is drawing a conclusion about a population ("everyone with an iota of social position wore polka-dot shirts and miniskirts") based on a small sample (in this case, probably just a few people she had seen wear polka-dot shirts and miniskirts).
