Answer:

A, Hasty Generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea that once someone votes against something once that then they will always vote against that thing is an extremely quick and incorrect assumption. Along with this, B couldn't be the answer because it isn't a slippery slope. Nor is this false authority or circular reasoning.
