Answer: Ad Hominem

Explanation: The use of invalid justification techniques in establishing basis for an argument is called fallacy. Therfore various types of fallacies can be identified. However, in the context above, Karen's response highlights a fallacy tagged 'Ad Hominem' which is committed when an argument deviates from the topic of discourse and focuses on the personality or motive of the speaker. Karen's response should have been a reply centered on addressing that point raised by the player without bringing the personality or supposed motive into the discussion by expressly alleging that the player's demand or view was borne out of being self-centered.
