Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Explanation:

post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy is a Latin word which means - after this, therefore because of this.

It is an example of a fallacy where if an event B occurs after an event A. So, people associate the occurrence of event B with A.

In this question, a person believes that because he watched his favourite movie (event A), he won the lottery (event B). He has come to associate watching his favourite movie as a prerequisite with winning the lottery. this is not necessarily true
