Correct answer: C

Fallacies of relevance occur when premises fail to support the conclusion logically. Ad hominem, Straw man, and Red herring are standard fallacies of relevance where the premises do not address the conclusion. False cause is often classified separately under causal or presumption fallacies in many logic curricula, distinguishing it from relevance errors.
