The correct answer is : B. A straw man fallacy. Straw man

Changing or exaggerating an opponent's position or argument to make it easier to refute. ..Misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack. When enlarging, manipulating or fabricating the whole argument of someone, it is easier to present your own position as appropriate and correct.
