Answer:

C) emotional reasoning fallacy

Step-by-step explanation:

The emotional reasoning fallacy is the process by which some person is taken into believe that something is true because he feels a certain way about it or because his emotional response tells him or her that that thing is true, this helps talk shows pundits to take persons that agree with him into re-assuring their position of agreeing because of their emotional response, that is the emotional reasoning fallacy.
