The question options are :

A.) A person should be quiet in hospital hallways. This is a hospital hallway; I should be quiet

B.) An injured dog may whine. My dg Fluffy is whining; Fluffy may be injured.

C.) This piece of furniture is a chair. This chair is soft; all chairs are soft.

D.) Inductive reasoning begins with one example. Counter examples may exist; inductive reasoning is unreliable.

I think that the answer is C because it is the only one that doesn't really make sense.

Since you have not presented any choices wherein we can find the erroneous statement with a fallacy of logos, Ill just proceed on discussing what comprises a fallacy of logos.

A fallacy of logos or logical fallacy is a fallacy that concerns the errors of reasoning. If you think the statement does not make sense or is not logical, then it commits a fallacy of logos.
