Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Every time Lou eats tacos, his baseball team wins. So now he eats tacos before every game to ensure a victory.

Step-by-step explanation:

False causality fallacy implies assuming an event causes another without real evidence or support. This means a false causality relationship is established between two situations or events. Additionally, this might occur if one event followed another and it is assumed the first event is the cause.

This occurs in option B because Lou is assuming the fact he eats tacos is the cause his baseball time to win, which has no support and it is assumed based on the fact one event occurs (eating tacos) occurs before the other (victory of the team).
