The correct answer is C. If you don't pass this test, you'll never go to college

Step-by-step explanation:

A logical fallacy is considered as wrong or incorrect reasoning in the process of arguing something, this implies if there is a fallacy the argument provided or the conclusion provided for that argument is incorrect. This implies, in the case of logical fallacy this mainly occurs because there is a mistake in reasoning as the rules f logic are not use correctly and thus it leads to an incorrect conclusion. In the case of the statement presented there is a logical fallacy because it is assumed "If you don't pass this test, you'll never go to college", however not passing a test does not imply a person cannot go to college, indeed the first statement and the conclusion are not related, and there is a mistake in the reasoning process as the person gets an incorrect conclusion from the first statement.
