Help Please

What kind of fallacy introduces a "reason" that really has nothing to do with the argument?
A. Appeal to authority
B. Appeal to emotion
C. Bandwagon
D. Red herring

Answer 1

I think it's the last one, the Red Herring fallacy..

I looked it up and it says:

"Red Herring/Smoke Screen

This fallacy occurs when someone introduces a distraction from the original point of a discussion, then goes on to conclude something irrelevant about that separate point."
