Which of the following is NOT a fallacy of relevance?

AAd hominem (personal attack)
BAttacking the motive
CTu quoque (look who's talking)
DFalse alternatives ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) False alternatives
Explanation

False alternatives is not a fallacy of relevance.

It wrongly narrows the choices to too few, ignoring further real possibilities.

This is a fallacy of presumption, resting on an unwarranted assumption about what remains open.

Fallacies of relevance instead offer premises logically irrelevant to the conclusion.

Personal attack, attacking the motive, and tu quoque all divert to the arguer rather than the claim.

Because false alternatives turns on an unjustified assumption, not an irrelevant appeal, it stands apart.
