Answer: C) Bandwagon

Bandwagon is a fallacy that is based on the idea that the majority opinion will always be the right one. The fallacy implies that, if a lot of people believe something, it is unlikely to be false. Because of this, it can also be called an appeal to popularity. In this case, the author states that millions of people have already tried the pill, and that they love it. If they do, then the pill must work.
