The correct answer is C) a Straw Man.

<em>The type of fallacy the second council member is making is Straw Man. </em>

A strawman argument is an argument that is fallacious and distorts an opposing argument with the intention of attacking it more easily. But what really happens is that the strawman argument is not responding or attacking the original argument, but a distorted idea of the original argument,

In this case, the type of fallacy the second council member is making is a strawman, when he says that “making drinking water only available to rich people is a terrible idea.”

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A simple random sample is a subset of a demographic population in which every part of the subset has a uniform likelihood of being preferred. A simple random sample is intended to be an impartial portrayal of a collection.

Each member of the population being considered should possess an equivalent probability of being chosen. A sampling error can transpire with a simple random sample if the specimen does not end up exactly matching the population it is assumed to reproduce.
