D. Ad hominem
Ad hominem is a logical fallacy whereby an individual argues against something or someone based their on personal feelings or prejudice towards it, rather than objective facts or logic.

Here, Mr. Calhoun is against standardized testing based on his feelings towards it- perhaps intimidation because the test is too challenging for him. In other words, he is auguring against standardized tests based on his personal view of it rather than the actual objective limitations it might have.
