Answer: A.Everyone loves that new action movie, so it must be one of the best films of the year.

Explanation: A Bandwagon fallacy is a persuasive technique through which a person tries to persuade his/her audience, so that most of them agree with his/her opinion. The technique that uses the speaker or writer is to suggest that if most of the people have the same opinion about something, it makes it true and the listener or reader should agree with it.
