Identify the fallacy committed in the following: "Ford cars are lemons, I have owned two and they gave me nothing but trouble."

Correct option is D

The statement "Ford cars are lemons, I have owned two and they gave me nothing but trouble" commits the fallacy of Hasty Generalization. This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn about an entire group or category based on insufficient or limited evidence.
The claim that all Ford cars are unreliable is based solely on the experience of two cars owned by the speaker.
The sample size (two cars) is too small and unrepresentative to justify a sweeping generalization about all Ford cars.
