Answer:

D. logical fallacies

Step-by-step explanation:

The term fallacy derives from the Latin verb fallere, which means to deceive. A false reasoning with the appearance of truth is called a fallacy. In logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is a logically incoherent, baseless, invalid, or flawed argument in the attempt to effectively prove what it claims.
