A hasty generalization is often associated with inductive argument. Option B is correct.

A hasty generalization consists on a fallacy in which a conclusion is not logically justified by sufficient or unbiased evidence. It's also refered to as an insufficient sample, a converse accident, a faulty generalization, a biased generalization, jumping to a conclusion, secundum quid, and a neglect of qualifications. A hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence.
