Answer:

option D: slippery slope

Step-by-step explanation:

a slippery slope is mostly said to be a logical fallacy fallacy as it entails critical thinking and logic. A slippery slope fallacy is simply said to be when an individual states that a frequent occurrence of a particular event may lead to big or major even which are usually a bad event or occurrence. usually the end of an argument is based on a chain reaction and there is no evidence to prove or think that the chain reaction will actually take place. A slippery slope fallacy is of the notion that a series of action if allowed may lead to one unfortunate or bad event/reaction. An example is if the government legalize abortion without restriction, this may cause the young and old to engage in the act of sexual intercourse without noting the consequences.
