Explanation / Answer

Answer: A) hasty generalisation

This is sometimes also referred to as faulty generalisation. This is an informal form of fallacy in which there would be an inductive generalisation which would be based on the evidences that are insufficient such that fbere would be rushed conclusions made. These would be made without consideration of all the variables influencing the statement. This might be based on the conclusions that would be based on the statistics obtained through survey from smaller group of samples which might not represent the complete population.
