English

Answer:

Option D.What is fallacious about the statement is that it suggests that the truth of a thing is determined by the number of people who like it.

Explanation:

The statement "fifteen million people can't be wrong" is fallacious as it implies that the truth is determined by the amount of people who believe in it, when the truth about something or someone is a fact one dimensional statement that has nothing to do with the number of people that believe in it or not. Not because 15 million people believe that something is true, changes the fact of its veracity or lack thereof.
