Answer:

I'm pretty sure its D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A straw man fallacy occurs when someone takes another person's argument or point,exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme exaggeration, as if that is really the claim the first person is making. Hope this helps.
