  1. bandwagon

  2. appeal to authority

  3. loaded question

  4. strawman

The correct answer is: strawman

In contrast, the other options: A. bandwagon - involves appealing to the popularity of a belief or action rather than its validity. B. appeal to authority - relies on the opinion of an authority figure rather than on the merit of the argument itself. C. loaded question - a question that contains a controversial or unjustified assumption.
