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.
