Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A fallacy is an error in reasoning, such as flawed logic or a misleading argument. It does not necessarily mean that the conclusion, premise, or proposition is false, although it often leads to a false conclusion. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are not entirely accurate. Choice E defines an argument that has an implied premise, which is different from a fallacy.
