Answer:
Appeal to authority
Explanation:
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.
The type of a logical fallacy found in the given passage is called the appeal to authority (or argumentum ad verecundiam). It occurs when a person claims that something is true (or untrue) simply because a valid authority or expert on the issue said so.
