Trent Blackburn · Answer 1

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

The fallacy of composition consists in inferring that something particular is true, and that therefore it is also true about a whole, basing this only because it is true about one or more of its parts. For example, if we establish that a piece of metal can not break at high temperatures, therefore the machine of which it is part will not break at high temperatures.

Have a nice day!
