Which argument is a straw man fallacy

Answer 1

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone takes another person's argument or point, distorts it or exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme distortion, as if that is really the claim the first person is making. Person 1: I think pollution from humans contributes to climate change.

A. People wo hate riding the bus must love traffic.

B. A chess champion like me should naturally be mayor.

C. Anyone who agrees with my opponent is a witch.

D. Everyone is wearing that jacket, so it must be cool.
