Answer:

A. Popular appeal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Popular appeal or “argumentum ad populum” is a logical fallacy that reaches an invalid conclusion based on the fact that many believe some premises to be the case. In the example above, it is a form of popular appeal since the teacher is appealing to the fact that many have passed the exam, that is to say, many would believe the exam to be easy.
