The flawed logic in this statement exemplifies

 

  A)Post hoc

I think that is false dichotomy

 

Answer 1

This is a post hoc argument defined as:

Since event Y followed event X, event Y must have been caused by event X

Answer 2

I agree. It sounds like False Dichotomy.

Answer 3

Post hoc. False cause fallacy. Two events occurred, one follows another, but the former does not justifies the latter.
