Answer
A
non sequitur
B
false analogy
C
ad populum
D
slippery slope

Explanation

The claim that women cannot have as many rights as men does not logically follow from the fact that Christ was not a woman. That makes the reasoning a non sequitur, meaning the conclusion does not follow from the stated premise. The correct choice is “non sequitur.”
