Answer 1

Personal attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Personal attack fallacy or ad hominem fallacy is a type of fallacy that uses a direct attack on the individual's personal character. This attack is targeted at a particular individual and uses his/her personal characteristics as opposed to directing the attack at the argument.

This form of personal attack is when an argument is based on the personal details or directing the attack at the person instead of the argument.
