Answer 1

The statement "A true feminist will support any female candidate" contains the logical fallacy known as **B) Hasty generalization**. This fallacy occurs because it makes a broad conclusion about feminists based on a specific assumption that all feminists must support all female candidates, which is an oversimplification and does not account for varying beliefs and criteria among feminists.
