Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

C. Jumping to a conclusion. Jumping to a conclusion is a logical fallacy in which a person reaches a conclusion without having all of the facts. This is often done in haste or based on a biased opinion, instead of evidence.

B. In drawing conclusions (making inferences), you are really getting at the ultimate meaning of things – what is important, why it is important, how one event influences another, how one happening leads to another. Simply getting the facts in reading is not enough. You must think about what those facts mean to you.
