Respuesta :

D. Hasty Generalization

Answer: hasty generalization.

A hasty generalization is a fallacy in which a conclusion is reached before sufficient or unbiased evidence is gathered. An argument based on a hasty generalization always proceeds from the particular to the general. This means that the argument takes something that is true on a small sample and tries to extrapolate it to the general.
