Answer:

C) The speaker uses an ad hominem argument by attacking an opponent's honesty.

Read the passage from a debate speech.

The current trade situation in this nation is unacceptable. We continue to lose money to other nations, while those nations prosper. I have a detailed plan to get our country—and its people—back on the right track. My opponent, who uses her time to spread lies and rumors while eating nice dinners bought by you taxpayers, does not even have a plan. I question her priorities.

The sentence: "who uses her time to spread lies and rumors while eating nice dinners bought by you taxpayers, does not even have a plan." is the indication that the speaker in indeed questioning their opponents honestly by blatantly stating that she, the opponent, is lying and spreading rumors.
