The logical fallacy that was used in the statement above is called Circular Reasoning.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

What is Circular Reasoning?

This refers to a type of fallacy where a conclusion about a matter is reached based on an unproven assumption, usually involving factless premisses that are reference one another.

In the sentence above, notice that the second argument is based on the first statement which has neither been proven by any fact.

  • The first part of the sentence is: "Year-round school is effective".
  • The second part of the sentence is:" Because students spend more time in school without a break"

Critical questions that uncover the fallacy are,

  • how do you measure school effectiveness?
  • Does spending more time in school translate to better results

Another example is: Adults have the right to vote because it is legal for them to vote. Notice that this is circular because the argument returns to the first part of the statement.
