The correct answer is D. Bandwagon

Explanation:

Bandwagon is a type of fallacy that occurs when a speaker or writer affirms some opinion, situation or similar is true based on the opinion and position of many other people. This implies, the author of an argument does not provide real support or evidence but mainly relies on how popular something is or the acceptance it has. This can be seen in the passage presented because in this the author uses "The acting, the plot, and the explosions made it the best movie ever! Every reviewer, blogger, and moviegoer thinks so" to try to support and probe the movie is awesome by describing many people believes this, which occurs in Bandwagon fallacy.
