The statement that does NOT use the bandwagon fallacy as a persuasive technique is:

Scientific research concludes that sunscreen is effective at combating skin cancer.

This statement is based on scientific evidence rather than appealing to popularity or the actions of a majority, which is the essence of the bandwagon fallacy. The other options rely on the popularity or consensus of a group to persuade the audience.
