Answer:

↣ C.) You asked what I've done to counteract global warming. In my first two years in office, we've had lower than average temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

A red herring in literature is defined as shifting from the actual topic in question and intentionally changing the subject to mislead the reader; therefore, the correct example of a red herring is C since the person deflects the question and speaks of another irrelevant matter entirely.
