The correct answer is D. False dichotomy

Step-by-step explanation:

A false dichotomy or false dilemma is a type of fallacy that occurs when it is assumed a situation can only be in one way or other, ignoring in most cases there are a wide range of possibilities rather than just two possibilities. This type of fallacy occurs in the case of "America: Love it or leave it!" because the speaker of this is assuming people need to either love or leave America but in reality, there are many more possibilities as people might not love America and still stay or love it and still leave. Therefore, this statement is an example of a false dichotomy fallacy.
