Answer: your question is not properly arranged. Please let me assume your question to be arranged this way:

People who use artificial sweeteners in place of sugar tend to be heavier than people who use sugar, thus we can conclude that artificial sweeteners are detrimental to weight loss efforts. This is an example of: Group of answer choices

a. Extrapolation

b. Misuse of cause and effect

c. influential outlier

THE ANSWER: a. Extrapolation

Explanation: Extrapolation is the conclusion of a general events using a specific event. It means estimating or concluding something by assuming a current method will continue to exist or will remain applicable to every other method, without any scientific proof or experiment in the lab or workshop.

In this content, this person has extrapolated artificial sweetener to be a cause of weight gain. Which may not be applied to everyone using artificial sweeteners. His research was concluded based on the people he meet, without considering the fact that, he has not meet everyone yet.

This is not misuse of cause and effect, because they is no proof yet, that artificial sweeteners is the cause of their weight gain.

This is not Influential outlier, because may have not deviated totally from some other observations of people using artificial sweeteners to people using sugar.
