Answer:

C. Faulty cause and effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The faulty cause and effect technique occurs when the propaganda suggests that because one event follows another, the first event caused the second, in other words: Because B follows A, A must cause B, which it's not necessarily true, sometimes one thing follows another just because of circumstantial reasons.

The propaganda "Buy, sell, and trade on the Internet, and become a millionaire overnight!" is an example of that technique because it assumes that trading on the internet would inevitably make you a millionaire; but this idea an exaggerated and a lacking real-data statement rather than a true one, because even though there are millionaires that trade on the internet, it does not necessarily mean that trading on the internet will make you a millionaire.
