The correct answer is D. A mistake in logic

Step-by-step explanation:

The term logical fallacy refers to the use of a wrong or faulty reasoning which results from issues or problems in the construction of an argument as the process of reasoning might not be followed correctly or invalid assumptions can be made- This usually means a fallacy might look like a valid argument without being valid, because of this, in some cases fallacies can be used intentionally to manipulate or convince someone some argument is true, but also fallacies can emerge unintentionally. Additionally, fallacies have been classified according to the type of faulty reasoning they contain. Thus, it can be concluded that the option that defines a logical fallacy is a mistake in logic.
