    Which of the following is NOT a fallacy of Relevance?
    Question



    Which of the following is NOT a fallacy of Relevance?

    A.

    Ad Hominem (Personal Attack)

    B.

    Attacking the Motive

    C.

    Tu Quoque (Look who’s talking)

    D.

    False Alternatives

    Correct option is D


    False Alternatives is NOT a fallacy of relevance; it is a fallacy of presumption. The false alternatives fallacy (also known as a false dilemma or false dichotomy) occurs when an argument presents a limited number of options (typically two) and assumes that these are the only possibilities, ignoring other alternatives.
    Information booster:
    Fallacies of relevance occur when the premises are irrelevant to the conclusion, and the following are examples of fallacies of relevance:
    · Ad Hominem (Personal Attack): A fallacy where the arguer attacks the person instead of addressing the argument.
    · Attacking the Motive: This fallacy occurs when someone criticizes the motives of the person making the argument rather than addressing the argument itself.
    · Tu Quoque (Look who’s talking): A fallacy in which the arguer dismisses a criticism by accusing the critic of hypocrisy.
