Respuesta :

The correct answer is d. Incorrectly suggesting that one thing caused another.

Post Hoc is a type of a logical fallacy used in arguments where a person incorrectly suggests that one thing caused another while it may not be or is not the case.

Post hoc means occuring or done after the event, especially when there is a faulty assumption that the occurence has a logical relationship with the events that follow it.

Example: Our team was losing until I bought new shoes.

Therefore, incorrectly suggesting that one thing caused another (D) is an example of post hoc.
