The answer is C. Appeal to illegitimate authority.

Explanation:

Appeal to illegitimate authority is a common type of fallacy. It is an argument based on unsound logic.

When used,appeal to authority claims that something must be true because it is believed by someone who is said to be an "authority" on the subject. Whether the person is actually an authority or not, the logic is unsound. Instead of presenting actual evidence, the argument just relies on the credibility of the "authority.

In this scenario, Nick Jonas' (a popular American singer) support is used as evidence for the conclusion that the VH1 Save the Music brand should be patronized.
