Answer: FALLACY OF AMBIGUITY.

Explanation: Fallacy of ambiguity occurs when an argument, or apparent argument, which professes to be decisive of the matter at issue, while in reality it is not is open to more than one interpretation, explanation or meaning, if that meaning cannot be determined from its context.

The fallacy of equivocation and the fallacy of amphiboly in context means almost the same thing. Logical fallacy resulting from use of multiple meanings in a statement.
