The correct answer is B. Every time Lou eats tacos, his baseball team wins. So now he eats  tacos before every game to ensure a victory.

Explanation:

False causality fallacy implies assuming an event causes another without real evidence or support. This means a false causality relationship is established between two situations or events. Additionally, this might occur if one event followed another and it is assumed the first event is the cause.

This occurs in option B because Lou is assuming the fact he eats tacos is the cause his baseball time to win, which has no support and it is assumed based on the fact one event occurs (eating tacos) occurs before the other (victory of the team).

in "people in peace, not profit and war" chrisholm uses inductive reasoning for her argument against defense spending by stating that the new administration, like most americans, wanted to invest in social objectives, so they must not want to prioritize defense spending. mr. nixon said "we can delay no longer in launching new approaches to the problem that beset them", but chrisholm points out that the programs were delayed anyways.
