The argument is an example of a logical fallacy known as D. red herring.
What is a fallacy?
A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves," in the construction of an argument, which can make the argument appear stronger than it is if the fallacy is not detected. Logical fallacies are flawed, deceptive, or false arguments that can be demonstrated incorrectly through reasoning.
A red herring is something that confuses or diverts attention away from a relevant or important question. It could be a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences to the wrong conclusion. This was illustrated on this case regarding the dog.
