Answer: D) All of these.

Step-by-step explanation: a logical fallacy is an error in reasoning that often leads to a invalid or wrong conclusion. Bandwagon is a fallacy based on the assumption that the opinion of the majority is always valid, the black-or-white fallacy is when we illegitimately limit the number of alternatives available and the oversimplification fallacy is when it is assumed that there is a single, simple cause of an outcome when in reality it may have been caused by several reason. As we can see, those three fallacies all rely upon generalizations.

I would say that all of these fallacies (bandwagon, black or white, and oversimplification) rely upon generalizations to some extent.
