living is all about.

Explanation:

According to the internet, "A classic example of ad hominem fallacy is given below: “All murderers are criminals, but a thief isn't a murderer, and so can't be a criminal.”" If we read this and compare it with option B, you can see they are almost similar in what they are trying to convey. Have an awesome day! :)
