A) We should not follow Senator Smith's economic plan because he is an evil and unscrupulous person.

Explanation:

This is an example of a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is an argument in which the conclusion does not follow from the premises. Logical fallacies can seem to make sense at first, but are in fact mistaken when examined more closely. In this example, the economic plan of Senator Smith is being discussed. However, the speaker advises you to ignore it because of the personal qualities of Senator Smith. This is an example of a logical fallacy because the personal characteristics of the senator have no impact on whether the economic plan is convenient or not.
