Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.  Students should protest against the principal’s policy on prom parties because he's too old to understand what teenagers want.

Explanation:

Ad hominem logical fallacy is the type of argument that hurls an attack at the person making the argument on a personal level. Simply put, in this type of logical fallacy, the person making the argument is personally attacked along with the same argument he makes.

On that note, option B is the correct example of such a fallacy. Here, the students' personal attack on the principal for his policy about prom parties is a direct attack on his individuality. And by attacking the principal on a personal level, the students are making their argument on the logical fallacy of ad hominem.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
