Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Straw man.

Step-by-step explanation:

A straw man argument is used to fake a dispute with the opposing position by contrasting alleged arguments of the other side with one's own arguments. Instead of going into the actual position of the opponent and his arguments, arguments are made against a fictitious opponent who is not present - the "straw man".
