Answer:

A

Explanation:

Red herring. This fallacy blames something entirely irrelevant on the cause of something else. E.g. This happened and so did that. Therefore, this caused that.

Both C and D have to do with attacking arguments or people, E is simply aggrandizement, and B is coming to an illogical conclusion.

The correct answer is A. Red herring

Explanation:

In arguments, a logical fallacy occurs as the speaker provides arguments or reasons that are invalid because these are not connected logically or do not provide factual evidence although they might seem to have sense.

In the case of red herring fallacy, this occurs when the speaker deviates the attention of the audience by presenting information or ideas that are not connected but catch the attention of the audience. For example, a speaker might claim global warming is not an issue because the real issue is inflation and in this way the speaker changes from the main topic (global warming) to another topic that is not connected (inflation). Thus, it is red herring the fallacy that relies on distracting the audience or readers form the original topic.
