C. In the appeal to pity argument, the advertisement appeals to emotion by showing animals in sad circumstances to support the claim that dogs need homes. In the personal attack, the statements focus attention on personal characteristics and draw conclusions about the candidate’s ability to serve the government based on her personal life.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best explains why both ads are examples of fallacies. In the first ad, we see an appeal to pity. The ad employs emotional appeals by showing animals in sad circumstances in order to convince the reader to adopt one. In the second ad, the argument is similarly fallacious, as the statement focuses on personal characteristics in order to support the idea that the candidate is not capable of holding public office.
