Answer: I believe the answer would be Hasty Generalization

Explanation: It's a bit illogical and presumptuous to assume that Cheeseburgers and pizza are not the cause of obesity based off of one person.

The kind of fallacy that has been demonstrated in the given situation would be:

b). Hasty Generalization

What is Hasty Generalization?

Hasty generalization is described as the fallacy or flaw in the reasoning which takes place due to the unavailability of an adequate sample to validate the deduction.

In the given example, 'hasty generalization' is the fallacy that has been demonstrated here because the speaker deduces without sufficient data that thin people can eat fast foods and they do not cause obesity.

This exemplifies that her conclusion is based on an inapt general idea and made her to believe in the stereotype without checking its validity.

Thus, option b is the correct answer.
