B. Limited choice

Answer 2

Answer:

Hasty Generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Hasty generalization describes an argument based on the idea that if you have a few cases, you can draw a conclusion.

Hasty generalization occurs when a conclusion is drawn from an inadequate number of cases, without sufficiently analyzing them.

For example-

We say that three cases of asthma have occurred along the park where the high voltage power lines run. And we conclude that - the power lines must be the cause of this illness.

So, this type of conclusion is hasty generalization.
