The correct answer is D. Logical fallacies

Step-by-step explanation:

Errors or inconsistencies during the process of reasoning to defend and prove a point can lead to arguments that might seem logical or correct but are invalid, this faulty forms of reasoning is known as a logical or formal fallacy. Formal fallacies can occur in writing and speaking due to issues in reasoning; additionally, fallacies are classified into many types, for example, the phrase "That is a good movie because everybody goes to watch it" is a fallacy because popularity does not make something is true and therefore this is classified as a Bandwagon fallacy.
