Correct answer: B. Ad Hominemव्यक्ति पर आक्षेप (Ad Hominem)
Explanation
The speaker does not argue about abortion at all; he attacks the opponent's personal character (his limited capacity for sympathy). Attacking the person instead of the argument is the fallacy of Ad Hominem.वक्ता गर्भपात के मुद्दे पर तर्क नहीं देता, बल्कि प्रतिपक्षी के व्यक्तिगत चरित्र (उसकी सीमित सहानुभूति-क्षमता) पर आक्षेप करता है। तर्क के स्थान पर व्यक्ति पर आक्रमण करना व्यक्ति पर आक्षेप (Ad Hominem) तर्कदोष है।More Logical Reasoning questions
