The correct answer is "Ad Hominem."

The statement, "Councilman Stewart's recommendations for a wind farm might work, but do you want to take advice from a man who was caught cheating on his wife?"<em> is an example of Ad Hominem fallacy.</em>

The Ad Hominem fallacy is when a person attacks another individual making an argument that is not true for the original reason they are arguing. The attack is completely different and irrelevant to the original argument. The Ad Hominem tries to deviate from the original argument, trying to bias the argument.

In the case of this question, the argument of "cheating his wife" has nothing to do with the professionalism or expertise of the person making recommendations on windmills.
