Which argument is an example of overgeneralization?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My German shepherd bit several family members before I got him a new collar, but has not since then. The new collar must have stopped him from biting. I want to get a German shepherd as a pet, but my friends say that it is likely to bite me and won't be a good pet. I agree with them. I was bitten by a German shepherd as a child, so I do not want to get a dog as a pet because it will bite me. My German shepherd has bitten two people, so I have to send him to the pound or muzzle him.

Is it C or D

OpenStudy (skyphos):

I think C since the person was bit once as a child. He or her does not want to get a dog because of that one incident.

OpenStudy (skyphos):

Plus the person is saying any kind of dog will bite

OpenStudy (skyphos):

*him or her if she gets a pet

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, C is the only correct choice.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

if someone doesn't know why that is so, we will be happy to address that.... :D
