The answer would be "C" overgeneralization.

This is because it's generalizing that everyone in the world has access to a computer which is not true. Overgeneralization could mean that something assumed rather than proven.

The error in logic is overgeneralization because the statement is making a generalization about all people having access to the computers, which isn't necessarily true. (For example, there might be issues with money or location.)
