<u>'False Causation' is demonstrated as the logical fallacy(flaw in reasoning) in which a cause of a phenomenon is inappropriately identified</u>. In this fallacy, the relationship between the cause and effect is irrational which makes the argument flawed/false reasonably.
In the given argument, the cause('earbuds') is identified incorrectly for the effect('decrease in need for live music') which creates a confusion for the readers(as they are unable to relate the cause logically) and affects the credibility of the argument. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
Id say that the complete predicate would be “have made a decision” and the simple predicate would be “have” or “have made.” Sorry if im wrong. Good luck
