Answer:

B. Elect me as mayor because I have the most money.

Step-by-step explanation:

A non sequitur is a fallacy which involves a loss of link or opposition between the conclusion and the statements that precede it. It is an illogical and irrelevant conclusion of a statement or argument when it is not in line with the premises.

In other words, the fallacy describes an argument that has a conclusion with no connection to previous statement.

From the given arguments, a mayor is an executive post that requires election based on records and abilities of the candidate, not majorly his financial capability.
