The correct answer is C. Slippery slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slippery slope fallacy involves stating a set of consequences or effects will occur due to a specific action. This is considered as faulty reasoning or fallacy because the speaker assumes a chain of events will follow a particular event with no evidence.

This occurs in the statement "If you don't do your homework, then you will fail the class and never get into college" because the speaker suggests not doing homework will definitely lead to the student failing the class and not going to college, although the speaker does not have evidence and this will not necessarily occur.
