I would say D. It wasn't logical, he assumed too quickly. It does not go back into the question to delve for answers, and the argument is not necessarily "non-sequitur" or invalid.

The writer assumed that since everyone likes it, it will have a good effect on the school. He concluded that from one piece of evidence, supporting his hastiness.
