While driving on the freeway a big truck cut me off when it changed lanes. A few days earlier another truck tailgated me, and yet another refused to dim its lights. The conclusion is obvious that truckers these days are as rude as they are reckless.

Answer: c. Hasty Generalization

Explanation:

HASTY GENERALIZATION has many synonyms. It is also known as a FAULTY GENERALIZATION, INSUFFICIENT SAMPLE, CONVERSE ACCIDENT, JUMPING TO A CONCLUSION and so on.

From the synonyms and indeed the term itself, you can see that it is a fallacy.

It is a fallacy that bases a conclusion on research that lacked an adequate enough sample size and therefore cannot be properly justified.

It can be very dangerous when used to make prejudicial conclusions not unlike the one described above.
